I saw a video for steak and potato nachos…and I thought it sounded amazing…
And THEN!!!
I thought about adding sautéed mushrooms…
And THEN!!!
I thought about adding onion straws…
And THEN!!
It was pretty perfect!!!
It all starts with the stuff dreams are made of ;))
Slice those potatoes very thin…
Place them in a large bowl and coat with the olive oil and spices…
Lay them in a single layer on your baking sheet…
Bake on 400 degrees for 20 minutes…
set aside while you work on the next ingredients…
Slice those beautiful onions really thin as well…
Place the onions in a large bowl and pour the buttermilk over them…
Coat them all really well…
You can use flour, salt & Pepper to season the onions for frying or…if you’re lucky enough to have this Zataran’s fry mix…then by all means use it!!
Yep! Just like this!
fry them until they’re golden brown..
place on paper towels to drain…
I was so very excited at this point that I forgot to take a picture…but we will see them soon…very soon…
Next, throw those mushrooms in your skillet and add 1/2 stick of butter…
When the butter is melted and the mushrooms are coated, add the seasoning and saute’ them for 7-8 minutes…
They will look truly mesmerizing like this!
Now for my FAVORITE part…the steak!!!
Salt and pepper each side and add some garlic salt as well…heat up your iron skillet until it’s smoking and sear each side…
Put a pat of butter on each one and place in your 450 degree oven for 5 minutes for medium rare or as I call it…PERFECT!!
If you’d rather your steak not be perfect… Just keep cooking it for a few more minutes…
place your steaks on a plate and let rest 10 minutes…
Then slice it thin like this…
you should hear angels singing at this point…happens every time… Really it does…
Next the layering fun begins!!
in your iron skillet, layer the potatoes in a perfect circular pattern…add half the cheese…
Layer the steak on next…
Then the mushrooms…
Add the remaining cheese…
At last the crispy fried onions!!!
Put the skillet bin a 450 degree oven for 10 minutes until the cheese is all melted…
And the finished product will make you cry…its THAT good!!
