For the Fries:
▢26 ounces frozen french fries (1 bag)
▢2 cups freshly shredded cheddar cheese
▢1 roma tomato diced
▢1-2 jalapeños sliced
▢¼ red onion chopped
▢½ cup sour cream
➤ Step-by-Step Guide to Making it :
- In a medium bowl, whisk the soy sauce, lime juice, orange juice, canola oil, brown sugar, minced garlic, cumin, and black pepper together. Season to taste with salt.
- ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce,¼ cup fresh lime juice,2 tablespoons fresh orange juice,¼ cup canola oil,1½ tablespoons dark brown sugar,1 clove garlic,½ teaspoon ground cumin,½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper,Kosher salt
- Transfer the steaks to a gallon-sized Ziplock bag and pour the marinade over the steak. Squeeze out excess air from the bag and seal it. Massage the marinade over the meat until the meat is fully coated. Refrigerate for 2-10 hours, flipping the bag over often.
- 1 pound skirt steak
- When ready to cook, remove the meat from the fridge 15-30 minutes before using. Before cooking the meat, wipe off the excess marinade with paper towels.
- Brush 1 teaspoon of canola oil over the skillet and heat it over medium-high heat until the pan is sizzling hot. Carefully place the steak in the pan and cook for a total of 6-8 minutes, or until you get a gorgeous char on both sides. Flip the meat over after 3 minutes or when the beef releases from the pan and cook the other side for about 3 minutes. The internal temperature should read 128-130°F on an instant-read thermometer.
- Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes. Cut the steak against the grain into strips. Set aside.
- Arrange the frozen fries on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Bake according to the package directions, about 10-15 minutes.
- 26 ounces frozen french fries
- Once baked, top the fries with the cheese and bake for 5-7 minutes until the cheese has melted. Top with carne asada, tomato, jalapeño, and sour cream.
- 2 cups freshly shredded cheddar cheese,1 roma tomato,1-2 jalapeños,¼ red onion,½ cup sour cream
➤Becky’s Tips:
- For a more tender and flavorful steak, marinate it in lime juice, olive oil, and garlic for at least 30 minutes before grilling.
- You can also add sliced jalapeños or hot sauce for an extra kick of heat.
- If you want to make this recipe even quicker, you can use pre-cooked steak strips instead of grilling the flank steak.
➤Storage:
Carne Asada Fries are best served fresh and hot. However, if you have leftovers, you can store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, place the fries in the oven at 350°F until heated through, about 10-15 minutes.
