Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • 1 cup light beer

  • 1/3 cup Worcestershire sauce

  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes

  • 1 teaspoon minced fresh garlic

  • 1 lime

  • 1 pound sirloin filet steak

  • 1 (32 ounce) package frozen French fries

  • cooking spray

Cheese Sauce:

  • 2 tablespoons butter

  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

  • 1 cup half and half

  • 2 cups shredded sharp white Cheddar cheese

  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

  • 1/2 teaspoon dried dill

Toppings:

  • 1/2 cup chopped tomato

  • 2 tablespoons chopped red onion

  • 1 jalapeno, sliced

Directions

  1. Place beer, Worcestershire sauce, red pepper flakes, and garlic in a resealable plastic bag. Squeeze in lime juice. Add steak, coat with marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or overnight.

  2. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Spread fries onto a baking sheet and spray with cooking spray. 

  3. Bake in the preheated oven until crisp, 25 to 30 minutes, or per package instructions.

  4. Meanwhile, make cheese sauce. Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat; whisk in flour; whisk continuously until mixture turns golden and forms a smooth paste. Pour in half and half and stir until mixture thickens, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in cheese until melted, 2 to 3 minutes more. Stir garlic powder, oregano, and dill into the sauce.

  5. Meanwhile, preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate. Remove steak from the marinade and shake off excess. Discard remaining marinade. Cook steak on the preheated until firm and reddish-pink and juicy in the center, about 5 minutes per side for medium rare. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 130 degrees F (54 degrees C). Remove from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

  6. Place French fries evenly on a platter; pour cheese sauce over fries. Top with sliced steak, tomato, red onions, and thinly sliced jalapenos. Serve immediately.
