Cheesy Steak Tater Tots

There is a Miami-based food truck called Dim Ssäm à gogo. They have an excellent dish that consists of tater tots topped with slow-braised beef, and some other fun extras.
When you're on a budget, dining out goes on the back burner for awhile. This recipe is inspired by the very addictive Dim Ssäm dish. 
Some of the most delicious dishes I've created come from leftovers, or odds and ends in my refrigerator. This is no exception. I began to dig around for something I could pull together quickly, and before I knew it, the gears were turning. I surveyed the contents of my fridge and freezer, and started pulling things to throw together.

Ingredients:

Olive oil to coat frying pan
1 bag tater tots
8 oz Sirloin or similar cut of steak
1/2 A fresh lime, squeezed for juice
1/2 A fresh lemon, squeezed for juice
1 C Shredded monterey jack cheese
1/4 yellow onion, sliced
Kosher salt
Black pepper

Sauce:

1 C Sour Cream
1 tbsp. Frank's Red Hot sauce
1 tsp. Chili powder
1/4 tsp. Cayenne pepper powder
1/2 Tbsp. Minced garlic
Black pepper and kosher salt to taste

Directions:

Season sirloin with salt and pepper to taste, and marinate for several minutes with lemon and lime juice.

Coat a medium-sized frying pan with olive oil. Sautee sliced onion to golden, adding sirloin to the pan.
Turn occasionally.

While steak is cooking, set the oven to 350 degrees, place tater tots on a baking sheet and into the oven.

Remove steak from heat and allow to rest for several minutes before slicing.

Remove tater tots from oven, placing into a bowl. Layer steak on top, then cheese, then onions, and finally spoon out a liberal amount of sauce.
