STEAK NACHOS

Steps:

• Preheat a grill, grill pan, or cast-iron skillet. Season the steak with the chili powder, salt and pepper and grill for 3 to 4 minutes per side, until medium-rare. Let the steak rest. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Heat the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for a minute, then slowly whisk in the stock. Simmer for a few minutes, then stir in the cheese and salsa and continue stirring until the cheese is fully melted. Chop the steak into small pieces. Arrange the chips in a single layer on a large cookie sheet or baking pan. Top evenly with the beans and steak, then drizzle on three-quarters of the cheese sauce. Top with the jalapeno and onion. Bake for about 15 minutes, until the cheese is fully melted. Top with the remaining cheese sauce, tomatoes, and cilantro if using. Yield: Serves 4.
