  • 1 ½ tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper

  • 1 (8 ounce) flat iron steak, patted dry
  • ¾ teaspoon kosher salt, divided
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper, divided
  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions:

  2. Sizzle the steak: Season steak with salt, pepper, and cumin. Sear in a hot cast iron skillet until desired doneness. Let it rest, then slice thinly.
  3. Scramble the eggs: Whisk eggs with salt and pepper. Cook in the same skillet until just set.
  4. Build the nachos: Layer half the chips on a baking sheet. Top with half the steak, beans, eggs, and cheese. Repeat layers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use a different cut of steak?
Absolutely! Flank steak or skirt steak would work great, too.
What kind of cheese is best?
A Mexican blend is classic, but Monterey Jack, cheddar, or pepper jack would be delicious.
