CARNE ASADA FRENCH FRIES

Steps:

• Place steak, beer, and sazon seasoning in a gallon-sized resealable bag. Refrigerate for 8 hours, or overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Spread French fries evenly on a baking sheet.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate. Cook steak for 5 minutes, flipping halfway through. Transfer to a plate and let rest for 10 minutes.
• Bake fries in the preheated oven until light golden in color, 11 to 15 minutes. Divide among 4 serving plates and drizzle queso over the top.
• Slice steak across the grain into bite-sized pieces and scatter over the fries. Garnish with onion and cilantro.

CARNE ASADA CHEESE FRIES

Steps:

• Add steak to a medium bowl, and toss with the lime juice, chili powder, cayenne (if using), salt and pepper until thoroughly coated. Let marinate at room temperature while you prepare the remaining components.
• Prepare the beer cheese: In a medium saucepan, melt the cream cheese over medium heat, stirring frequently, about 2 minutes. Add the beer in a slow stream, whisking until smooth. Let the foam die down, about 1 minute, then decrease heat to low and add the cheese one handful at a time, whisking until smooth before adding the next. Once you've integrated all the cheese, whisk in the Worcestershire, mustard, garlic powder and paprika. Season to taste with salt, cover and set aside, off heat. (Makes 1 1/4 cups.)
• Prepare the garnish: In a small bowl, stir together the onion, cilantro and lime juice. Set aside.
• Make the carne asada: Heat the oil in a large cast-iron skillet or griddle over medium-high. Add the meat, and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and the sauce reduces to a glaze, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Arrange cooked fries on a serving platter in an even layer, and drizzle beer cheese on top to taste. Top with the carne asada and onion-cilantro mixture. Serve with lime wedges, and crema, if desired.

CARNE ASADA CHEESE FRIES

Steps:

• Make the seasoned salt:
• Whisk salt, paprika, garlic powder, pepper, oregano, and sugar in a small bowl.
• Cook the fries and steak:
• Spread fries on a rimmed baking sheet, toss with 1 1/2 tsp. seasoned salt, and bake according to package directions, tossing halfway through.
• Meanwhile, rub steak with remaining seasoned salt. Heat oil in a large (preferably cast iron) skillet over medium-high. Sear steak 2-3 minutes per side for medium rare. Let rest 10 minutes. Thinly slice against the grain, then cut strips into 1" pieces. Transfer fries to a large platter; top with steak.
• Make the cheese sauce:
• Toss cheese and cornstarch in a medium heatproof bowl. Pour evaporated milk over and cook in microwave on high 40 seconds. Whisk and continue to cook in 20-second increments, whisking in between, until melted and smooth (about 2 minutes total). Stir in hot sauce, if using.
• Spoon cheese sauce over steak. Top with avocado, sour cream, cilantro, salsa, and/or pico de gallo, if using.
