Ba de de da de de da de de da de de da de de da… Bonanza! Or Gunsmoke (don't know the theme). Or any of those other Western TV shows that existed far, far before we were born. You'll be transported to a cowboy life, televised or not, when you take a bite of this meaty good steak sandwich, with melty mozzarella and zesty green chili aioli. And if that doesn't tumble your tumbleweed, the oven fries on the side, with chile and cumin, will get you back up on that horse and riding into the sunset. Tip: Wonder how to make fries? Slice a small piece off your tater so you have something to stand it on. Then make 1/4" slices, moving front to back and down. Those slices will be easy to cut into 1/4" fries.

Customize It Instructions

  • If using flank steak, follow same instructions as steak strips.

  • If using 20 oz. steak strips, separate into a single layer and pat dry. Season with 1/4 tsp. salt and a pinch of pepper and follow same instructions as steak strips, cooking in batches if necessary.

  • If using bacon, line a plate with a paper towel. Place a medium non-stick pan over medium heat and add bacon to hot pan. Flip occasionally until crisp and bacon reaches a minimum internal temperature of 145 degrees, 6-8 minutes. Transfer to towel-lined plate. Top sandwich with bacon.

  1. 1

    Bake the Fries

    Cut potatoes into 1/4" fries and pat fries dry.

    Place fries on prepared baking sheet and toss with 2 tsp. olive oil, seasoning rub, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Massage oil and seasoning into fries.

    Spread into a single layer and bake in hot oven until lightly browned, 25-30 minutes, gently tossing fries halfway through.

    While fries bake, prepare ingredients.

  2. 2

    Prepare Ingredients and Toast Buns

    Mince garlic.

    Halve and peel onion. Cut halves into 1/4" slices.

    Separate steak strips into a single layer and pat dry.

    Place a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add 1 tsp. olive oil. Add buns, cut side down, to hot pan and toast until lightly browned, 2-3 minutes.

    Remove toasted buns from pan. Keep pan over medium-high heat.

  3. 3

    Caramelize the Onion

    Add 1 tsp. olive oil and onions to hot pan. Stir often until browned and tender, 6-8 minutes.

    Stir in garlic and a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook until aromatic, 30-60 seconds.
