Ingredients in Philly Steak and Cheese Fries
- Steak – Thinly sliced ribeye or flank steak. More marbling means more flavor!
- Vegetables- Green pepper and white onion, sliced
- Seasonings – Garlic salt and ground black pepper
- White American Cheese- I prefer to use deli-sliced White American cheese vs the processed cheese product. However, presliced cheese will work just as well if preferred.
- Waffle Cut Fries – You can substitute for regular cut fries but waffle fries make this appetizer fun.

How to Make Skillet Philly Steak and Cheese Fries
The first step to making this tasty appetizer is to preheat the oven. To make cleanup simple, use an oven-safe skillet to cook in or set out a 9x9 baking dish to layer the ingredients in before baking if you prefer.
To fry the thinly sliced steak, heat olive oil in the skillet and allow it to get hot before adding the steak.
Once the skillet is nice and hot, add the steak and sprinkle the garlic salt, and ground black pepper to the skillet.
Brown the sliced steak on all sides and transfer it to a dish.
Reserve 1 tablespoon of liquid from the skillet and discard the rest. Return the skillet back to the burner and add the sliced green pepper and onion. Fry the peppers in the skillet until cooked but still crisp.
Once the vegetables are cooked, remove them from the skillet and place a layer of Waffle Cut Fries on the bottom of the skillet.
Layer with the White American cheese, the sliced veggies, and the cooked steak. Repeat the layers and add the remaining cheese on top.
The oven-safe skillet is then placed in the preheated oven and the Philly Steak and Cheese Fries are baked for 22-24 minutes.
