  • 1/2 teaspoon chipotle powder

Directions

First start by chopping the green onions and adding them to a bowl. Slice the jalapenos leaving the seeds in then add to the bowl. Next, dice the tomatoes and add to a different bowl. Pick the cilantro leaves and add to the bowl with tomatoes. Next season the skirt steak using salt, pepper, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, chipotle powder and jalapeno powder. These seasonings are optional and you can use whatever seasonings you like. Cook the steak on a smoker at 200 or on a grill at low temp. Continue cooking until the steak reaches around 125 – 135 which should be very rare to rare. On the smoker this would be around 45 minutes. On a grill, cook the steak about 7 minutes per side keeping an eye on the temperature. The reason for cooking the steak until rare is because the meat will be cooked a second time once the nachos are assembled. If you decided to buy the optional can of refried beans, open the can and add the beans to a small pan. Warm the beans on the smoker or grill. Once the steak reaches temperature, pull it from the smoker (or grill) and allow it to rest about 4 minutes. Next, cut the steak into small bite sized chunks for the nachos. Remove the beans once they are easy to stir. Next, add a layer of tortilla chips to a foil cookie sheet. Cover the chips with the shredded cheese. Using a spoon, add refried beans to the chips. Add each of the chopped veggies to the chips. Next add the chopped steak to the chips and then cover everything with another layer of cheese. Squeeze some lime juice over the nachos for additional flavor. If you have ingredients remaining, build a second tray of nachos, or you can go big and add a second layer to your nacho tray. When you have finished building your nachos, place the tray back on the smoker (or grill). For the smoker cook at 250 or low on the grill. Cook for about 30 minutes or until the cheese is thoroughly melted and the steak is no longer rare. At this point, pull the tray then add the sour cream and guacamole toppings. Add a few fresh cilantro leaves and your nachos are ready!

Coffee Chipotle Steaks

Coffee Chipotle Steaks

It’s time to step up your steak game with easy and serious flavor! This recipe is surprisingly delicious and you get to make your own steak rub!

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon espresso
  • 2 teaspoons chipotle powder
  • 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon brown sugar
  • 2 ribeye or NY strip steaks
  • 1 package large asparagus

Print This Recipe Print This Recipe

Directions

In a small mixing bowl, combine espresso, chipotle powder, smoked paprika, kosher salt, pepper, and brown sugar. Mix the ingredients together for about 1 minute until thoroughly combined. Next lightly coat the full surface of the steaks in olive oil. This will help the rub to stick to the steaks. Next, completely cover all sides of each steak with the rub. It’s a good idea to coat the steaks heavily with the rub, more is better! For this recipe, large asparagus makes an excellent side dish. To prepare these, lightly coat them first in olive oil, then sprinkle with salt and pepper. Next, preheat your grill to 500F and if you have wood chips, use mesquite or Jack Daniels oak barrel chips. Once your grill reaches temperature, add the asparagus to the grill. Large asparagus is thick and takes some time to cook so give them a 5 minute head start. Next add your steaks to the grill cooking at 7 to 10 minutes per side. When the steaks reach your desired finished temperature, pull from the grill and enjoy!

Add 1/2 stick of butter (4 tablespoons) to the skillet. Coat the mushrooms with soy sauce and season with Everglades seasoning. When the grill reaches temperature, add the skillet. Next melt 1/2 stick of butter and brush the butter onto freshly sliced burger buns. Next place the burger patties on the grill and cook for 8 minutes. After 8 minutes, flip the burgers and cook for another 8 minutes. Be sure to stir the mushrooms occasionally. After 8 minutes, move the burgers to the top rack of your grill and cook another 8 minutes. Next, flip the patties again and then add 2 slices of Swiss cheese to each burger. At this point we will cook the burgers about another 2 – 3 minutes. Place the buns on the grill surface and cook for 2 minutes max, making sure to avoid direct flame. Remove the buns from the grill, place the burger patties on the buns and spoon on some mushroom toppings! Enjoy!
