Time 2h50m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon ground cumin
¾ pound flat iron steak
½ yellow onion, sliced into rings
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 (14 ounce) bag frozen onion rings (such as Ore-Ida®)
1 pound processed cheese food (such as Velveeta ®), diced
1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes and green chiles (such as RO*TEL®)
1 tomato, diced
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro, or to taste
2 tablespoons pickled jalapeno peppers, or to taste
3 green onions, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Combine chili powder, sea salt, and cumin in a bowl; rub over steak. Place steak on a plate and cover with plastic wrap; refrigerate for 1 hour and up to overnight. Remove from refrigerator and let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.
  • Heat a grill pan over high heat. Rub steak and sliced yellow onion with vegetable oil; cook on the hot grill until steak is cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 140 degrees F (60 degrees C). Let steak and onion rest for 20 minutes. Thinly slice.
  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Spread onion rings in 1 layer onto a baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until browned and crisp, 14 to 16 minutes.
  • Cook and stir cheese food and diced tomatoes and green chiles in a saucepan over medium-low heat until cheese sauce is smooth, 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Spread baked onion rings on a serving platter and top with steak and onions. Pour 3/4 of the cheese sauce over the top, reserving the remaining sauce to serve alongside the nachos. Top nachos with tomato, cilantro, jalapeno peppers, and green onions.
