Equipment
- large pan
- Cutting board
Ingredients
- 1 ribeye steak around 250g
- 1 teaspoon fajita seasoning
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon chipotle paste
- 1 tablespoon butter
- Salt and pepper
Toppings
- Handful tortilla chips
- 2 tablespoon nacho cheese or melted cheese
- 2 tablespoon guacamole or 1 avocado mashed with a tablespoon red onion, salt, pepper, coriander and lime juice
- 2 tablespoon pico de gallo or 100g tomatoes chopped and mixed with 1 tablespoon chopped red onion and 1 teaspoon coriander, salt and pepper
- 2 tablespoon sour cream
Instructions
- Remove the steak from the fridge about 30 minutes before cooking so it can come to room temperature. This helps it cook more evenly, which is key for perfect cheesy steak nacho bowls. Season the steak. Rub the steak with olive oil, fajita seasoning, salt and pepper on both sides. Let it sit while you prepare your toppings.1 ribeye steak, 1 teaspoon fajita seasoning, 1 tablespoon olive oil, Salt and pepper

- Add butter and chipotle paste to the pan. Spoon the melted butter over the steak for 30 seconds to 1 minute. This step adds richness and flavour that makes these cheesy steak nacho bowls stand out. Remove the steak from the pan and let it rest for 5 minutes. This keeps it juicy when sliced.1 teaspoon chipotle paste, 1 tablespoon butter

Notes
Always bring your steak to room temperature before cooking. This helps it cook evenly and develop a better crust. A cold steak straight from the fridge can seize in the pan, leading to uneven cooking and a tougher texture, which you want to avoid for juicy, tender results.
