(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
Directions
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Arrange the potato fries on a baking sheet in a single layer. Drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
While the fries are baking, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the butter and let it melt. Add the sliced steak to the skillet, cooking for 2-3 minutes until browned and cooked through. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the sliced onions and bell peppers. Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until they soften and caramelize. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce and return the steak to the pan. Stir to combine and heat through.
Once the fries are done, remove them from the oven and top them with the steak, peppers, onions, and shredded provolone cheese.
Return the loaded fries to the oven for 5 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve hot and enjoy!
