Critical Success Points

  • Rendering the bacon fat properly ensures the dish isn’t greasy or dry
  • Cooking the vegetables until soft prevents crunch in the final dish
  • Browning the cubed steak quickly locks in flavor
  • Adding cheese at the very end prevents it from becoming rubbery

Safety Warnings

  • Handle hot skillet with oven mitts to avoid burns
  • Cook beef to an internal temperature of at least 145°F (63°C) for safety
  • Wash hands and utensils after handling raw meat
