→ Steak Seasoning
02 - 1 tbsp olive oil
03 - 1 tsp garlic powder
04 - 1 tsp black pepper
05 - ½ tsp chili flakes (optional)
06 - Salt, to taste
→ Crispy Fries
07 - 1.3 lb russet potatoes (or frozen fries)
08 - 3 tbsp vegetable oil
09 - 1 tsp smoked paprika
10 - Salt, to taste
→ Vegetables & Toppings
11 - 1 red onion, thinly sliced
12 - 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
13 - 1 avocado, diced
14 - 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
→ Sauce
15 - 3 tbsp mayonnaise
16 - 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
17 - 1 tbsp ketchup
18 - 1 tsp lemon juice
19 - Salt and pepper, to taste
# How-To Steps:
01 - Preheat oven to 425°F. Cut potatoes into evenly sized fries and toss with vegetable oil, smoked paprika, and salt. Arrange in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake for 25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy. If using frozen fries, follow package instructions.
02 - In a mixing bowl, combine the steak strips with olive oil, garlic powder, black pepper, salt, and chili flakes. Toss to coat evenly and let marinate while the fries bake.
03 - Heat a large skillet over high heat until smoking. Add the seasoned steak strips in a single layer, searing for 1 to 2 minutes per side until nicely browned but still pink inside. Remove from the pan and let rest briefly.
04 - Whisk together mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, ketchup, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a small bowl until smooth and well combined.
05 - Divide the crispy fries among four bowls. Top each with steak strips, sliced red onion, halved cherry tomatoes, diced avocado, and chopped parsley. Drizzle the sauce generously over each bowl and serve immediately for the best texture.
# Helpful Tips:
01 -
- The sauce alone will make you question why you ever bought bottled condiments, and it takes about thirty seconds to whisk together.
- Crispy fries underneath juicy steak with cool avocado on top hits every texture and temperature note you could want in one bowl.
02 -
- Do not crowd the pan when searing steak strips, or they will steam instead of browning and the whole bowl suffers for it.
- Letting the fries sit on the baking sheet for two minutes after pulling them from the oven helps them crisp up even more as steam escapes.
03 -
- Pat the steak strips completely dry with paper towels before seasoning, because moisture is the enemy of a good sear and this single step changes everything.
- Set the bowls in a warm oven for two minutes before assembling so the fries stay hot longer while you eat.
