Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef (80/20 works best)
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce (low-sodium recommended)
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar (packed)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil (toasted)
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced (for garnish)
  • 1 (22-ounce) bag frozen shoestring or crinkle-cut fries
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella or Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (toasted, for garnish)
  • Fresh cilantro or parsley (optional)
  • Lime wedges (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil. Spread the frozen fries in a single layer and bake according to package directions, usually 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
  2. While the fries bake, make the bulgogi sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, sesame oil, rice vinegar, grated ginger, and black pepper. Set aside.
  3. Cook the beef. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it apart, until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if needed. Reduce heat to medium-low and pour the bulgogi sauce over the beef. Stir and let simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the meat.
  4. Make the sriracha mayo. In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise, sriracha, and a squeeze of lime juice. Adjust spice to taste. Set aside.
  5. Assemble the loaded fries. Once the fries are crispy, remove the baking sheet from the oven. Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the hot fries. Spoon the bulgogi beef over the cheese. Return the sheet to the oven for 2-3 minutes, just until the cheese melts and gets bubbly.
  6. Remove from the oven. Drizzle the sriracha mayo over the top, followed by dollops of sour cream. Sprinkle with sliced green onions, sesame seeds, and fresh cilantro if using. Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side.
  7. Pro tip: Don’t skip the lime. A squeeze of fresh lime juice right before eating cuts through the richness and brightens everything up.

Notes

For gluten-free, use tamari instead of soy sauce. For dairy-free, use vegan cheese and sour cream. To make it vegetarian, swap ground beef for crumbled tofu or plant-based meat. The bulgogi beef tastes even better the next day. Store leftovers separately and reheat in the oven or air fryer to maintain crispiness.
