Preparation

For the Cheesy Slam Dunks

• 1 Preheat grill or broiler to 500 degrees. Drizzle steak with oil, then place steak over hottest place on grill. Cook, uncovered, for 1.5 minutes then carefully flip over and cook for 2 more minutes.
• 2 Remove to a warm plate and let rest. In a large bowl, using a fork, combine mashed potato with cheese, butter, garlic, shallot and pepper then set aside.
• 3 On a cutting board, using a sharp carving knife, thinly slice steak then chop into small pieces. Using blade of knife, scrape entire contents – drippings and all – into the potato mixture then fold in to evenly distribute meat.
• 4 On a flat surface, spread out wonton wrappers then place one heaping teaspoon of filling into the center of each wrapper.
• 5 Using a pastry brush dipped in water, wet the edges of each wrapper then close by either gathering the ends together on the top to resemble a large candy kiss, or fold in half to form a triangle or bend for a more rounded look, or simply roll into a mini egg roll, if so desired.
• 6 Preheat an oven to 400 degrees. Spray filled wontons generously with cooking spray then place on a baking sheet and place in the preheated oven and bake for 7 minutes.
• 7 Turn or flip wontons then return to oven and continue to bake until desired crispness is reached –about 5 to 7 minutes. Serve with dipping sauce below, if desired.

Alternate Cooking Methods:

• 1 FRY: Place a few inches of avocado oil in a 2 quart saucepan or Dutch oven and place over medium heat until it reaches 365 degrees. Working in batches so as not to crowd, fry wontons for 2 to 3 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oil and drain on parchment or paper.
• 2 AIR FRYER: Place a few wontons in air fryer and set temperature to 400 degrees. Set timer for 9 minutes and start.
• 3 After 5 minutes, open the air fryer and rotate/turn wontons to cook evenly then return to cooking until desired crispness/browning is achieved, about 4 minutes, depending on air fryer.

For the Slam Dunk Dipping Sauce

• 1 In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, steak sauce, and thyme. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving alongside slam dunks. Makes approximately 12 servings per recipe.
