  12. Arrange fries on platter, top with meat mixture
  13. Pour half the cheese sauce over loaded fries

Notes

  • Partially freezing the steak makes it much easier to slice thin
  • Use a thermometer to ensure milk stays below 180°F to prevent grainy cheese
  • Cook steak in batches if your pan is small to avoid steaming
  • For extra crispy fries, bake them 5 minutes longer than package directions
  • Make the cheese sauce last to ensure it stays smooth when serving
