DIRECTIONS

Season the lamb on both sides with the seasoning mix.

Preheat a large cast iron or heavy duty pan on medium high heat and sear the steak on both sides until golden (3 minutes per sides) or until the temperature reaches 145 degrees F .

Remove the lamb and let it rest for at least 3 mins.

Cook the French Fries. In the meantime preheat the oven to broil and gather your toppings.

Cut the lamb into 1 inch chunks.

Using the same heavy duty skillet, start layering the fries, cheese and cut up pieces of lamb.

Broil the pan until the cheese has melted and then your carne asada fries are ready for loading.

Load up your toppings and dig in and enjoy!
