Ingredients

  • 500 g beef steak strips choose sirloin or ribeye for best flavor
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil for cooking the beef
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 onion, sliced
  • 4 large potatoes, cut into fries russet potatoes work best
  • 2 cups vegetable oil for frying
  • Optional toppings: lettuce leaves, 1 cucumber sliced, cherry tomatoes halved, fresh parsley chopped

Instructions

  • Prepare the Crispy Fries
  • 1. Wash your potatoes and cut them into even fries, about 1/4 inch thick, to ensure uniform cooking. Soak them in cold water for at least 15 minutes to remove excess starch.
  • 2. Heat your vegetable oil to 325°F in a deep skillet or fryer, preparing for the first fry.
  • 3. Pat the potatoes dry and carefully add them to the hot oil in batches, cooking for 5-7 minutes until they're pale golden and tender inside but not yet crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.
  • 4. Increase the oil temperature to 375°F and fry the potatoes again for 2-3 minutes until they're golden, crispy, and irresistible. Season immediately with a pinch of salt.
  • Season and Cook the Beef
  • 1. In a small bowl, combine paprika, garlic powder, black pepper, salt, and onion powder, stirring well to distribute evenly.
  • 2. Pat the steak strips dry with paper towels, then generously coat them with the spice mixture, ensuring every piece is well seasoned.
  • 3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the seasoned beef strips in a single layer, cooking for 3-4 minutes per side until they achieve a golden crust and reach your desired doneness.
  • 4. In the same skillet, add the sliced peppers and onion, stirring occasionally for 5-6 minutes until they're tender with a slight char.
  • Assembly
  • 1. If using lettuce, line your bowl or plate with fresh lettuce leaves to create a crisp, fresh base.
  • 2. Arrange your golden, crispy fries in a generous pile at the bottom of the bowl.
  • 3. Place the seared steak strips and cooked peppers and onions on top of and around the fries.
  • 4. Add cucumber slices, halved cherry tomatoes, and sprinkle fresh parsley over the top for color and freshness.
