Ingredients:
Flank steak
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- 4 cloves of garlic
- Juice of 2 limes
- 2 canned chipotle peppers in adobo sauce with a little sauce
- A handful of fresh cilantro
- 1 flank steak
Nachos
- Olive oil, as needed
- 2 onions, thinly sliced
- 2 red/yellow bell peppers, thinly sliced
- 1 tbsp. taco seasoning
- 1 bag (500g) of strong tortilla chips
- 220 g of grated Monterey Jack and Cheddar cheese mixture
- A handful of fresh coriander leaves
Innings
- Salsa
- Sour cream
- Pico de Gallo
Preparation:
- Steak:
Combine the olive oil, garlic, lime juice, chipotle peppers, sauce, and cilantro in a food processor or blender. Blend until smooth. Place the steak in a large zip-lock plastic bag or baking dish. Pour in the marinade, ensuring the meat is completely covered. Seal the bag tightly or cover with a lid and refrigerate for at least 24 hours.
- Nachos:
When you're ready to bake the nachos, preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Heat an electric grill or grill pan. Remove the meat from the marinade (drain).
- Drizzle the grill with a little olive oil and sear the meat over very high heat for about 4 minutes per side. Rotate the meat 45 degrees halfway through to create neat grill marks. Set aside and let the meat rest.
- In a large skillet, heat a couple tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion and pepper, sprinkle with taco seasoning, and cook until the vegetables are slightly softened and beginning to brown, 3–5 minutes. Set aside.
- Slice half the steak across the grain into strips, then cut the slices into smaller pieces (see Note). Place the sautéed vegetables on a cutting board and chop coarsely.
- Place the tortilla chips on a large ovenproof dish (or baking sheet). Sprinkle generously with cheese. Bake for about 3 minutes, just long enough for the cheese to melt (but not burn the chips). Top with peppers, onions, and sliced steak. Garnish with cilantro leaves.
- Serve nachos immediately with salsa, sour cream, and pico de gallo.
Note You can use the other half of the steak to make another batch of nachos, or put it in the refrigerator.
