Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Steak Fries

    Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Cut the Russet potatoes into thick wedges and place them in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt, pepper, and paprika. Toss to coat evenly.

  2. 2

    Bake the Fries

    Spread the potato wedges in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake for about 30-35 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.

  3. 3

    Cook the Steak

    While the fries are baking, season the steak with salt and pepper. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the steak for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare or until desired doneness. Let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Dish

    Once the fries are done, remove them from the oven. Top with sliced steak, shredded cheese, black beans, pico de gallo, a drizzle of spicy sauce, crema mexicana, and guacamole. Serve immediately.
