1lb.sirloin tip roast, may substitute any thinly sliced beef roast or steak
Your favorite steak seasoning blend
6Flour tortillas
vegetable or canola oil
2green bell peppers, seeds and membranes removed, sliced
2red onions, sliced
1cup shredded cheddar cheese
Your favorite Mexican toppings, such as salsa, guacamole, sour cream, diced tomatoes, lettuce, etc.
Instructions
An hour before you want to cook the sizzle steaks, place the whole sirloin tip roast into the freezer.
After the hour, place the partially frozen roast onto a cutting board. Use a sharp knife to slice the roast, across the grain, into very thin slices; lightly season the slices to taste with steak seasoning.
While the roast is in the freezer, use a pizza cutter to cut the flour tortillas into 6 triangles. Over medium high heat, add oil to a skillet until it’s about 1-inch deep; when the oil is nicely hot, add the tortilla triangles a few at a time, cooking them just a few seconds on each side until deep golden brown; drain on paper towels. Repeat with the remaining tortilla triangles until they are all cooked.
In a skillet, add a bit of olive oil over medium high heat; when the oil is hot, add the peppers and onions and saute just until al dente and still bright in color, approx. 6-8 minutes.
Meanwhile, over medium high heat, heat a bit of oil in a skillet; add the seasoned sizzle steak meat to the hot pan and cook for only a minute or so, just until golden brown and caramelized on each side. Work in batches, if needed, so you don’t over crowd the pan as you cook the meat – this will help it brown and caramelize better.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.Spread the fried flour tortilla triangles (nachos) out in a single layer over a rimmed baking sheet; top with shredded cheese, the cooked sizzle steak, and the sautéed bell peppers and onions.
Place the sheet pan of nachos into the oven on the center rack. Cook for 10-12 minutes, uncovered, or just until the cheese is melted and the ingredients are hot throughout.
Garnish the hot nachos with your desired toppings, such as more shredded cheese, sliced tomatoes, sour cream, jalapenos, guacamole, and cilantro….whatever your heart desires. Serve at once!
