Recipe Summary Cheesy Steak And Onion Ring Nachos

Flat iron steak and onions are layered over onion rings and topped with a homemade cheese sauce in these decadent onion ring nachos.

Ingredients | Oven Baked Onions Rings

1 teaspoon chili powder

1 teaspoon sea salt

1 teaspoon ground cumin

¾ pound flat iron steak

½ yellow onion, sliced into rings

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

1 (14 ounce) bag frozen onion rings (such as Ore-Ida®)

1 pound processed cheese food (such as Velveeta ®), diced

1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes and green chiles (such as RO*TEL®)

1 tomato, diced

¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro, or to taste

2 tablespoons pickled jalapeno peppers, or to taste

3 green onions, thinly sliced

Directions

Combine chili powder, sea salt, and cumin in a bowl; rub over steak. Place steak on a plate and cover with plastic wrap; refrigerate for 1 hour and up to overnight. Remove from refrigerator and let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.

Heat a grill pan over high heat. Rub steak and sliced yellow onion with vegetable oil; cook on the hot grill until steak is cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 140 degrees F (60 degrees C). Let steak and onion rest for 20 minutes. Thinly slice.

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Spread onion rings in 1 layer onto a baking sheet.

Bake in the preheated oven until browned and crisp, 14 to 16 minutes.

Cook and stir cheese food and diced tomatoes and green chiles in a saucepan over medium-low heat until cheese sauce is smooth, 5 to 10 minutes.

Spread baked onion rings on a serving platter and top with steak and onions. Pour 3/4 of the cheese sauce over the top, reserving the remaining sauce to serve alongside the nachos. Top nachos with tomato, cilantro, jalapeno peppers, and green onions.

Flank steak can be used in place of the flat iron, if desired.

The directions for cooking onion rings are based on the particular brand mentioned. Follow instructions on bag if using a different brand.
