Loaded Steak Nachos

February 1, 2017 By Lokness 5 Comments

Cheesy nachos loaded with marinated steaks, refried beans, guacamole, & pico de gallo. This is exactly what you need for your Super Bowl party or just for dinner! 

I’m going to be honest… Being a woman and an immigrant in this country (United States), the past 11 days have been upsetting and concerning. Lots of things have changed in such a short amount of time. It has been emotional, exhausting and stressful. A recharge is really needed, so the vacation next week will sure help. For now, I will shove myself into food! Either you are in need of a food therapy like me or you simply want a full pan of mouthwatering food for your Super Bowl, this loaded steak nachos won’t disappoint.

How do you like your nachos? I’m kind of obsessed with the combination of refried bean and cheese. I love that a tortilla chip is covered with melted cheese and salty refried beans. It’s savory, a bit soggy and a bit crunchy. Heavenly bite! And of course, we need some MEAT. I used Bryan’s college steak recipe. It is a quick marinade with plenty of flavors. Perfect to go with the nachos! Then, top with a creamy easy guacamole and sour cream. Freshness from the tomatoes, cilantro, onion, lemon juice and lime juice helps to brighten up the flavors and tie the dish together. Just thinking about this makes me very hungry!

Ingredients

  • 10 ounces flank or skirt steak (cut into ½-inch cubes)
  • ½ cup canned refried beans
  • 7 ounces shredded Mexican Style Four Cheese
  • 5 ounces tortilla chips
  • ¼ cup sour cream
  • Vegetable oil

Marinade for beef:

  • 3 tablespoons ketchup
  • 3 tablespoons beer (light flavored beer, like Corona)
  • 1½ tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 garlic clove (minced)

Pico de Gallo:

  • 1 small tomatoes (diced)
  • ½ cup onion (finely diced)
  • 2 - 3 tablespoons cilantro (chopped)
  • ½ - 1 teaspoon fresh lime juice
  • salt

Quick Guacamole:

  • 1 ripe large avocado
  • ¼ cup onion (finely diced)
  • 2 - 3 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
  • salt

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl, combine all the ingredients for the marinade. Mix well. Add the steak cubes and marinate for 20 minutes at room temperature.
  • Put tomatoes cubes in a strainer or colander. Season with salt and toss gently to combine. Let them sit and drain for 30 minutes.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the tomatoes, onion, and cilantro. Season with salt and add half of the lime juice. Taste and adjust with more salt and lime juice if needed. Set aside.
  • Cut the avocado and remove the flesh with a spoon. Transfer the flesh to a medium bowl. Add onion. Mix with a spoon. Season with salt and add half of the lemon juice. Taste and adjust with more salt and lemon juice if needed. Set aside.
  • Preheat the oven to 350˚F (180˚C). Line a quarter baking sheet with a parchment paper or aluminum foil.
  • In a large skillet over high heat, warm 1 tablespoon vegetable oil. Remove the beef from marinade and add to the skillet. Cook until just no longer pink. Transfer to a medium bowl.
  • In a microwavable small bowl, place in ½ cup of refried beans. Heat in the microwave until warmed. Stir and mix.
  • To assemble, in the prepared baking sheet, smear ½ the refried beans at the bottom. Sprinkle with ¼ of cheese. Place ½ of tortilla chips. Sprinkle ½ of the beef over. Top with ¼ of cheese. Repeat the steps once again. Transfer the baking sheet to the oven. Bake for 8 – 10 minutes or until cheese has melted. Remove from oven.
  • Top with dollops of guacamole and sour cream. Sprinkle with pico del gallo. Serve immediately.

Notes

  1. For the canned refried beans, if you can find low sodium one, use that.
  2. I like restaurant style tortilla chips. I think they are thinner and better than ones from supermarket. In fact, I went to a Mexican restaurant down the street and bought a bag of chips for this recipe.
  3. I know I said to use light beer like Corona, but Negra Modelo works too. I used that for this dish.
  4. If you want to save time, you can use store bought salsa instead of making your own pico de gallo.

    So this sheet pan… it’s meant for one, right? Because sharing might be an issue with nachos that look this good. Can’t wait to try them!

York is a charming little city filled w/ history. York is a charming little city filled w/ history. Romans, Saxons & the Vikings were all here at one point. I love walking through The Shambles. Narrow street w/ timber-framed buildings & cobblestone road. It felt like we went back in time. It resembled Diagon Alley in Harry Potter too!

Our 1st pub & Sunday roast experience! Our friends Our 1st pub & Sunday roast experience! Our friends Michelle & James took us to their favorite local pub. Nice & cozy. I think I understand a bit more why British loves pubs. It’s a really comfortable hang out place. The food was incredible! We both got the roast beef sirloin. It came w/ a giant Yorkshire pudding & lots of flavored roasted veggies. Sticky toffee pudding was perfect! There is no better way to start our Great Britain trip.

We’re getting some crazy winter weather. It’s We’re getting some crazy winter weather. It’s cold, rainy & even hailing. Craving for something comforting, then I’m reminded of this Hong Kong Style Macaroni Soup w/ Ham. Light chicken broth w/ macaroni & ham. Ready in under 20 minutes. Brings me right back to Hong Kong!🍲

Chocolate Whoopie Pies with Strawberry-Rose Cream. Chocolate Whoopie Pies with Strawberry-Rose Cream. I was inspired by our recent Maine trip to create these. Moist chocolatey cake rounds filled w/ a slightly tart strawberry buttercream & a hint of rose. They’re fun little treat for Valentine’s Day. Btw, these are freezer friendly too. Keep a few at room temp, & freeze the rest. There’ll be plenty of desserts in the coming month.😉

The food in the picture is sweet glutinous rice dumplings w/ black sesame 落湯糍(糯米糍). The word “糍” sounds similar to “錢”, so the dumplings represent money. Eating them will bring you lots of wealth! 

The dumplings are chewy & gooey like mochi. Coated in black sesame seeds. Right before eating, dip them in sugar. Perfect sweet treat for the new year!

We just can’t get enough of @somisomiicecream! T We just can’t get enough of @somisomiicecream! Their soft serve is creamy, yet not too sweet. Lots of choices too, like ube, matcha, black sesame etc. The taiyaki is crispy on the outside & filled w/ goodness, like Nutella, red bean & custard. My only wish is that they open a store in the San Gabriel Valley, so we don’t have to travel far every time!😆

2022 is coming to an end! It has been a much bette 2022 is coming to an end! It has been a much better year for me personally. We traveled a bit more (Denver, Monterey, Maine, & Boston) & ate lots of incredible food. I’m drooling just thinking about some of the food. Also, my parents flew in from HK. We finally got to see each other after 3 years. We spent time together & attended my sister’s wedding. And we all finally got covid. It’s looking like things are getting back to normal. I truly hope it is!
