In no way will you ever hear me bash convenience foods. You've heard me say it time and time again...take the help from the store when you need to, and don't have an ounce of guilt about it. We are all super busy and if there are times we need to cut corners to make sure our families are still fed a good meal, well then, that's how life goes. So, the above title, is in no way a push for you to stop buying frozen anything. It's simply a statement about this recipe specifically, and if you have the time, what you can do with it!
I'm kinda a fry snob. They have to be just right for me to really rave about them. The right texture. The right flavor. Even the right temperature. I hate cold fries; but I also can't stand ones that burn my mouth with hot leftover grease.
So, when I set out to my own steak fries, I'm not even going to lie to you, it took me a few tries to get them just how I wanted them. For my taste buds, these have the perfect combination of seasonings. But feel free to add your own and switch them up. This is really a method, a jumping off point, that could lead to a thousand different varieties.
These would be so good with anything coming off the grill this summer! Steaks, burgers, hot dogs, barbecue...steak fries go with them all!
Oh, and on that time issue? These really don't take that much more than their frozen counterpart. Just a few extra minutes in the prep department to cut them. So if you have those few moments to spare, treat your family to something a little extra special. And if you don't? Well then, reach for that bag of frozen tater tots and know I fully support you!
