The Best Steak Loaded Nachos
These Steak Loaded Nachos are piled high with tender grilled skirt steak, a creamy homemade cheddar cheese sauce, tomatoes, red onion, jalapeños, and fresh cilantro.
Ingredients
For the Skirt Steak:
- 1 lb skirt steak
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp Tony’s Lite Creole Seasoning
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp black pepper
For the Cheese Sauce:
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1 cup evaporated milk
- 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese freshly shredded
- ½ tsp Tony’s Lite Creole Seasoning
For the Nachos:
- 1 large bag tortilla chips
- 2 Roma tomatoes diced
- 1 small red onion finely diced
- 1 fresh jalapeño diced (remove seeds for less heat)
- ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
- Lime wedges for garnish
Instructions
Prep and Grill the Steak:
- Rub skirt steak with olive oil and season with Tony’s Lite Creole Seasoning, garlic powder, and pepper. Preheat your grill to medium-high and grill the steak for 3–4 minutes per side until it reaches 130–135°F internal temp. Let rest 5–10 minutes, then slice thinly against the grain.
Make the Cheese Sauce:
- In a saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Whisk in flour to make a roux and cook 1 minute. Slowly whisk in evaporated milk. Once smooth, stir in cheddar cheese in batches until melted. Season with Tony’s Lite to taste and keep warm.
Assemble the Nachos:
- Layer tortilla chips in a cast iron skillet or grill-safe tray. Drizzle with cheese sauce, top with sliced steak, diced tomatoes, onion, and jalapeño.
Grill and Finish:
- Grill the assembled nachos over indirect heat at 375°F for 5–7 minutes until everything is warmed through. Finish with chopped cilantro and lime wedges. Serve hot and enjoy!
