Ingredients

1 cup light beer

1/3 cup orcestershire sauce

1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes

1 teaspoon garlic

1 lime

1 pound sirloin filet steak

1 32 ounce package frozen French fries

cooking spray

2 tablespoons butter

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

1 cup half and half

2 cups white Cheddar cheese

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

1/2 teaspoon dried dill

1/2 cup tomato

2 tablespoons red onion

1 jalapeno, sliced

Directions

Step 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.

Step 2

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

Step 3

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

Step 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.

Step 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.

Step 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.
