Instructions

Loaded fries are a quick and easy party food, so we’ve combined them with one of our favourite Philadelphia street foods- the Philly Cheesesteak! This is a delicious combination of golden crispy fries cooked on a griddle barbecue, topped with thinly seared steak, caramelised onions, provolone cheese, and pickled jalapeños.
  • Place the steaks in the freezer for at least 30 minutes, or until just starting to freeze. This will allow you to slice the steaks very thinly.
  • If using a 17” Weber Slate Griddle, prepare it for cooking using direct high heat (250°C-290°C) and preheat as directed. For specific cooking instructions on the 17” slate, see the Recipe Tips below, as you will need to cook the ingredients in batches. If using a 30” or 36” Weber Slate Griddle, prepare it for cooking using direct medium-high heat (210°C-250°C) and preheat as directed. Refer to Step 11 for information on Weber Slate Griddle settings.
  • Slice the steaks into very thin slices, approximately 2-3 mm thick. Coat the sliced steak with 3 tablespoons of olive oil, 1½ teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon of pepper.
  • Mix the finely chopped onion with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and ½ teaspoon of salt.
  • Once the griddle has preheated, scrape it clean with a scraper. Lightly oil the griddle surface with olive oil, using the back of a spatula to spread it. Pour the chips onto the griddle and spread them into a single layer. Cook for 16 minutes, turning every 4 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • Once the fries are mostly golden, add the onions to a separate area of the griddle and cook for 4 minutes, stirring as needed. Remove them from the griddle once softened and golden.
  • Move the fries to the left-hand side of the griddle. On the right-hand side, turn the far-right burner to High and allow it to preheat for a couple minutes- it is important that it gets hot!
  • Add the steak to the right-hand side, spreading it into a single layer. Cook for 90 seconds, then flip and cook for a final 90 seconds.
  • Season the chips with chicken salt, toss, and then top them with the steak, onions, grated cheese, and pickled jalapeños. Leave to cook for a final 3 minutes, or until the cheese has melted.
  • Scoop the loaded fries onto a serving platter and top with a drizzle of tomato sauce and Japanese Mayo.
  • Slate Direct High And Direct Medium High

To cook this recipe on a 17” Slate:

Cook the fries for 16 minutes, or until deeply golden. Remove them from the griddle and keep warm. Cook the onion and steak as per steps 6 and 8. Once the onion and steak are cooked, remove them from the griddle and keep warm. Add the chips back to the griddle and heat for a couple minutes, then top with the steak, onion, cheese, and jalapeños. Leave for 3 minutes to melt.
