Step 1. Bake the homemade fries

• Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
• Toss fries with 1 tbsp olive oil, salt, pepper.
• Spread on a baking sheet, skin-side down if possible. Roast 35–40 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden brown and crisp with roasted edges.

Step 2. Cook the carrots

• Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
• Add diced carrots, season with salt and pepper, and sauté 8–10 minutes until tender. Remove and set aside.

Step 3. Sear the rib steaks

• In the same skillet, increase heat to medium-high.
• Add cubed rib steaks in batches if needed (don’t crowd the pan).
• Sear 2–3 minutes per side until browned but still juicy inside. Remove and set aside.

Step 4. Make garlic-bacon butter

• Lower heat to medium. Add butter to the skillet.
• Stir in minced garlic and bacon pieces, cooking about 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 5. Blister tomatoes & combine

• Add cherry tomatoes to the skillet and cook 2–3 minutes until blistered.
• Return steak and carrots, tossing everything in the garlic-bacon butter and tomato juices until coated.

Step 6. Assemble the loaded fries

• Place the fries on a plate.
• Spoon the rib steak, bacon, and carrots and cherry tomatoes, generously over the fries.
• Garnish with parsley or thyme. Serve hot!
