Ingredients
4 lbs frozen french fries
1.5 lbs flank steak
1/4 cup orange juice
1/4 cup lime juice
1/4 cup lemon juice
2 tbsp soy sauce (low sodium)
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp ground cumin
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 avocado, diced
1 cup pico de gallo
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
1 jalapeño, sliced
1/4 cup sour cream
1/4 cup chopped red onion
Instructions
Preheat broiler to 400°F (200°C)
Toss frozen fries with olive oil and sea salt
Place on a baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes until golden and crispy
Meanwhile, whisk citrus juices, soy sauce, garlic, cumin, and 1 tbsp oil for marinade
Marinate flank steak for 1 hour
Sear steak in a hot skillet 2-3 minutes per side, then broil 2-3 inches from heat until charred, 5-8 minutes
Slice steak against the grain into strips
Layer cheese over hot fries in a bowl
Return to oven 3-5 minutes until cheese melts
Top with steak, guacamole (avocado + lime), pico de gallo, cilantro, jalapeño, sour cream, and red onion
Notes
Use skirt steak if flank is unavailable
Let marinated steak rest 10 minutes before cooking
For extra crunch, use sweet potato fries
Cheese helps bind toppings to fries
Serve immediately for optimal fries texture
