Kimchi Fries! Don’t knock it until you try it, even you kimchi haters out there…

I love this stuff, yes kimchi…call me crazy, I don’t care!  While kimchi is actually quite healthy, in this dish it’s transformed into a whole new sinful concoction once you add fries, ribeye meat, a TON of cheese, and chipolte mayo. If this dish were calorie free and fat free, well I might just eat this every day… for now I will refrain and just indulge when I’ve had 1 too many (thanks for being there Chilantro) or when Evan begs me to make them on a Sunday (usually he doesn’t have to beg to hard for these things).

Prep: 15-20 min

Cook Time: 10 min

Serves: 2 (meal size) could serve 4 as a snack

Ingredients:

• Oreida fast food style french fries, 1/2 a bag or so
• 1 C. Cheese, your pick I use cheddar jack blend
• 1/2 Jar of Kimchi, you can find this at HEB in the produce section by the tofu, or make your own…
• 1/2lb of thinly sliced ribeye or strip meat, the butcher can do this for you or you can freeze the steak for 30-45 min and slice it yourself with a SHARP knife. AKA bulgogi.
• 1/2 Onion, chopped
• 1 Handful of cilantro, ripped or chopped
• Chipolte mayo and Sirracha – as much as you like
• 2 TBS Soy Sauce

Instructions:

1. Chop produce and slice meat if doing your self, throw meat in a bowl with the soy sauce.
2. Heat skillet for cooking beef on high.
3. Heat oil as directed on bag of fries and deep fry for specified time.
4. Cook meat, it will cook quickly since it’s so thin.
5. Make two mounds of fries, put cheese on top of fries, then beef, then kimchi, onions and cilantro, mayo and sirracha ( you don’t have to do it in this order but there is a method so the cheese melts).
6. Serve with ice cold beer and enjoy!

Cheers or should I say Gun Bae!
