Step-by-Step Instructions for Steak Loaded Nachos

Prep the Skirt Steak: Pat the skirt steak dry, rub with olive oil, and season both sides. Preheat the grill to medium-high and grill for 3-4 minutes per side until medium-rare. Let it rest before slicing.
Make the Cheese Sauce: Melt butter, whisk in flour, and cook until bubbly. Gradually add evaporated milk, then stir in cheddar until melted and creamy, about 3-4 minutes.
Assemble the Nachos: Layer tortilla chips in a skillet, drizzle cheese sauce over, add steak and toppings, ensuring coverage.
Grill & Finish: Place nachos over indirect heat, cover, and warm for 5-7 minutes until cheese bubbles. Garnish with cilantro and serve with lime wedges.
