Blue Cheese Steak Frites Bites

• Prep time: 20 minutes

Ingredients:

• 16-ounce package frozen waffle fries
• 1/4 cup blue cheese, plus more for garnish
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon Herbs de Provence
• Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon steak seasoning

Preparation:

1. Preheat oven to 450 F degrees and cook waffle fries according to package directions, then keep warm.
2. Meanwhile, combine blue cheese, sour cream, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Herbs de Provence, and black pepper, then refrigerate.
3. Season steak on both sides and cook in a skillet over high heat until medium rare (internal temperature of 130 F degrees) about 3 to 5 minutes per side depending on thickness. Remove steak from heat, cover with foil and allow to rest 5 minutes before thinly slicing across the grain.
