Recipe found here: Steak and Potato Nachos.

The ‘mistake’ I made last time was to not use enough pans.  This time, I cooked the skirt steak on a cast-iron griddle, which meant that I didn’t smoke up the kitchen this time when I added the potatoes.  What I did instead, in fact, was to put the potatoes in the cast iron pot, add the steak on top and the cheese, then broil it — which I don’t remember if I did last time — until it was ready to go.  More dishes, but less potential emergencies, and my wife and I inhaled it just as readily as last time.

There’s still smoking going on, though.  I am considering next time to go with my original impulse to grill it outside.  Only problem there is that it’s a pain to use charcoal for just that one item, and no, we’re not getting a propane grill any time soon.  That’s an extravagance for us, frankly.

Still, yum.  No pictures, because, well.

Looks kind of funky, smokes up the house something fierce, my wife’s SCA class loved it.

The smoking thing is a definite problem, though.  Enough of one that I abandoned any thought of making this a gaming dish… which is a shame, because skirt steak + potatoes + paprika + cheese + salsa + sour cream = delicious and two-thirds gone already. This may actually be something where you’d want to cook the meat on the grill, then take it inside to be cut up and tossed in the broiler…

(Via Facebook) Oh sweet merciful God I have to stop myself from running out to the store RIGHT NOW to make this*.  This is like what the Illuminati make when they make nachos.  I could very possibly eat everything in that skillet, and then regret it for the rest of the night, only not really because STEAK AND POTATO NACHOS.

I think I know what my gaming group is eating this weekend.

*And, bear in mind: I’ve got a plate full of Orange Black Beans with Cumin that my wife made last night and is still absolutely delicious despite the fact that it’s cold.  Seriously, this stuff over rice is off the hook.  And I still want to chase it with the contents of that skillet.
