Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 bag tortilla chips
- 1 pound ribeye steak, thinly sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, sliced
- 1 onion, sliced
- 2 cups shredded provolone cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare all ingredients by thinly slicing the ribeye steak against the grain, ensuring even cuts for quick and uniform cooking.
- Season the sliced steak generously with salt and pepper, allowing the meat to sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to enhance flavor absorption.
- Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat and add a small amount of cooking oil to prevent sticking.
- Sauté the sliced green bell peppers and onions in the skillet until they become soft and slightly caramelized, approximately 5-7 minutes. Remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, cook the seasoned steak slices quickly, stirring occasionally, until they are browned and cooked to medium doneness, about 2-3 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and arrange a layer of tortilla chips on a large baking sheet or oven-safe platter.
- Distribute the cooked steak, sautéed peppers, and onions evenly over the tortilla chips.
- Sprinkle shredded provolone cheese generously over the entire nacho layer, ensuring even coverage.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is completely melted and slightly bubbly.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for 2-3 minutes to allow the cheese to set slightly.
- Optional: Garnish with additional toppings like chopped fresh parsley, sliced jalapeños, or a drizzle of spicy sauce if desired.
- Serve immediately while hot and enjoy the melted, savory Philly Cheese Steak Nachos.
Tips
- Slice your ribeye steak against the grain and as thinly as possible to ensure tender, easy-to-eat meat.
- Let the steak sit at room temperature after seasoning to help it cook more evenly and retain maximum flavor.
- Use a hot skillet to quickly sear the steak, which helps develop a delicious caramelized exterior.
- Don't overcrowd your baking sheet - ensure the tortilla chips have enough space for even cheese melting.
- For extra flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of garlic powder or smoked paprika to your steak seasoning.
- Watch the nachos closely in the oven to prevent burning, as cheese can quickly go from perfectly melted to overdone.
- Serve immediately after baking to enjoy the optimal cheese stretch and chip crispiness.
