Ingredients

  • 1-1/2 lbs. boneless short ribs, slightly frozen and shaved thin
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced thin
  • 1 green bell pepper, sliced thin
  • 1 medium yellow onion, sliced thin (don't skimp)
  • extra virgin olive oil, as needed
  • 1-2 t. red wine vinegar
  • 6-8 slices provolone cheese
  • 6-8 oz. white American cheese, grated (or use all provolone)
  • 1 jar pepperoncini peppers, sliced
  • 1 bunch scallion onions, sliced thin
  • kosher salt and fresh cracked black pepper
  • Tostito Chips

Instructions

Heat olive oil in a griddle pan or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add sliced onions and bell peppers, and sauté for 10 minutes. Once they have developed some color, season generously with salt and black pepper, then lower the heat slightly. Continue cooking, adding a splash of water if the vegetables begin to brown too much. Cook until it is very tender, 15-20 minutes more.

Add red wine vinegar, stir, taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.

Remove vegetables from the pan and set aside.

Lightly coat griddle or skillet with more olive oil and increase the heat back to medium-high. Evenly distribute the meat on the griddle and season generously with salt and pepper.

Cook, pressing down and pulling slices apart, until the meat is halfway cooked through. Then, cook undisturbed until the meat is browned and crisp underneath, about 4 minutes. Add meat to the vegetables and combine.

On a clean large sheet pan, spread the Tostito chips in one even layer.

Distribute the cooked meat and vegetables over the chips, followed by the cheeses. Make sure some of the meat and vegetables are still exposed. Drizzle any remaining juices from the pan over the nachos at this point.

Place in the oven at 375 degrees and cook until the cheese is fully melted, about 10 to 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, thinly slice about 5 pepperoncini peppers and the scallions.

Remove the nachos from the oven and top with pepperoncini slices, scallions, and a bit of the liquid from the pepperoncini jar.

Serve while hot.
