Truffle Steak Nacho Fries - Taco Bell Copycat
You will love these Taco Bell truffle nacho loaded fries. This Taco Bell copycat is made with thick cut fries, strip steak, cheese, and more.
Servings: 6
Equipment
- Meat Thermometer Optional
Ingredients
- 28 Ounces fries frozen, wedge or thick-cut steak fries
- 2 Tablespoons truffle oil
- 2 Tablespoons taco seasoning
- 1 ½ Tablespoons truffle salt
- 1 Pound steak New York strip, 1-inch thick
- ¼ Teaspoon salt
- ¼ Teaspoon black pepper
- ⅓ Cup nacho cheese
- Truff hot sauce to taste
- 4 Pounds cheddar cheese freshly shredded
- ½ Cup tomatoes freshly diced
- cilantro for a garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
- Add fries to a large mixing bowl. Combine with truffle oil, 1 ½ Tablespoons of the taco seasoning, and 1 Tablespoon of the truffle salt. Toss to coat.
- Spray a wire rack lined baking sheet with non stick cooking oil. Add fries and spread evenly. Place into the oven on the center rack and bake according to instructions on the package (about 18 minutes).
- Meanwhile, heat a skillet over high heat.
- Season the steak with salt, pepper, and remaining truffle salt. Add to the skillet and sear for 4 minutes per side. Remove and rest 5 minutes on a wooden cutting board. Use a meat thermometer to determine steaks internal temperature and do not go off cooking times solely. For me, 4 minutes per side provided medium rare steak. Cooking times will vary depending on the pan, heat source, steak temperature prior to cooking, steak thickness.
- Thinly slice steak across the grain.
- Remove fries from the oven and add to your serving tray.
- Warm the nacho cheese sauce slightly in the microwave.
- Drizzle the fries with nacho cheese sauce and Truff hot sauce.
- Sprinkle shredded cheese and diced tomatoes over the top.
- Garnish with cilantro if desired.
Notes
Don't skip the sear: Ensure your skillet is lightly greased and very hot before adding the steak. You want to "sear" it so it ends up with that lovely crust on the outside.
Use Truff brand hot sauce: Because it's flavored with black truffle, this is the best choice for making Taco Bell style loaded fries.
Save some time: If you have leftover grilled marinated steak or another kind, you can use that instead of cooking steak from scratch.
