Texas Cheesesteak Nachos
Was going to make the real Cheesesteak sandwich but my favorite French bread dealer was sold out. I could have went to another grocery, but this one is the only one who makes true French bread as I know it. The whole recipe is more for the Swiss cheese sauce. Therefore could be applied to many dishes. I will still walk the entire method as it is easy and quick.

Step-by-step
- Sprinkle Dawgs Bark all over the steak and set on a plate off to the side on the counter. By sweating the steak, it will help enzymes mix with seasoning.
- To grill, inside or out, get the surface temperature to medium-high (300 to 400 degrees). This temperature and time will turn out a medium-rare steak that's almost 1 inch thick. To cook the steak to medium, drop the heat 50 degrees and add an extra 1 to 2 minutes per side cook time.
- Add your veggies, olive oil, and a dash of salt in a bowl and mix to cover.
- Put the veggies on the grill and cook until tender. Once they are cooked put them back in their bowl.
- Heat a saucepan on medium-low (250 to 300 degrees).
- Drop in butter to melt then stir in flour and salt.
- Pour in the 2 cups of milk and heat to a simmer.
- Set time for 6 minutes and throw the steak on the grill.
- At 6 minutes flip the steak and cook an additional 6 minutes.
- Set steak on a clean plate on the counter to rest for at least 15 minutes before cutting.
- Drop in the Swiss cheese in the saucepan with milk. Whisk it in and keep stirring until smooth. You can go up to 2 cups of shredded Swiss cheese that will make the sauce a little thicker.
- Cut steak into cubes or slices.
- Layer: tortilla chips, steak, Swiss sauce, and lastly grilled peppers.
