Method
Prepare Tortilla Chips
- 1
Fry Tortilla Chips
Heat vegetable oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Cut corn tortillas into triangles (about 6 pieces per tortilla). Once the oil is hot, fry the tortilla triangles in batches until golden and crispy, about 2-3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on paper towels to drain excess oil. Season with salt while still hot.
Cook the Steak

Season and Sear
Season the beef steak with salt and black pepper. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the steak and sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness. Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.
Make Cheese Sauce

Prepare the Sauce
In a saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Whisk in the flour and cook for about 1 minute. Gradually whisk in the milk until the mixture is smooth. Continue cooking, stirring frequently until it thickens. Lower the heat and add the cheddar cheese and cream cheese, stirring until melted and smooth. Add hot sauce to taste.
