# How To Make It:
01 - Preheat oven to 425°F. Cut potatoes into fries, toss with vegetable oil, smoked paprika, and salt. Spread on a baking sheet. Bake for 25 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy. Alternatively, bake frozen fries according to package instructions.
02 - In a bowl, combine steak strips with olive oil, garlic powder, black pepper, salt, and chili flakes. Let marinate while fries bake.
03 - Heat a skillet over high heat. Sear steak strips for 1-2 minutes per side until browned but still juicy. Remove from heat and rest.
04 - Whisk together mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, ketchup, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a small bowl until well combined.
05 - Divide crispy fries among four bowls. Top with steak strips, sliced onions, cherry tomatoes, avocado, and parsley. Drizzle with prepared sauce and serve immediately.
# Expert Advice:
01 -
- This bowl is the ultimate blank canvas, allowing you to use up whatever vegetables are hiding in your crisper drawer.
- The combination of textures, from the crunch of the fries to the tender meat, is wildly satisfying and fun to eat.
02 -
- If you crowd the skillet with too much meat at once, it will steam rather than sear, leaving you with gray, tough strips.
- Letting the cooked steak rest for a few minutes before slicing keeps all those delicious juices inside the bowl.
03 -
- Tossing the hot fries with a pinch of salt the moment they leave the oven ensures the seasoning sticks perfectly.
- Using a cast iron skillet for the steak retains heat beautifully, giving you that steakhouse quality crust.
