Kimchi Nachos

Directions

1. 1
   Note the recipe requires at least 4 hours to marinate the beef so plan ahead!
2. 2
   Start by marinating your beef.
3. 3
   Mix the soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic paste, cracked black pepper, and honey in a small bowl.
4. 4
   Make sure everything is incorporated.
5. 5
   Add the beef into a sealable bag and pour the marinade in the bag.
6. 6
   Gently massage the marinade into the beef, seal the bag and let it marinate in the refrigerator for 4 hours or overnight.
7. 7
   When you are ready to cook your beef, you can either grill, or cook in a large oven-safe skillet and finish it in the oven as I did.
8. 8
   Heat a large oven-safe skillet on high heat for a few minutes.
9. 9
   Add the butter and immediately add the beef.
10. 10
    Let the beef cook in the butter for about 3 minutes, untouched, then flip.
11. 11
    You should have a nice sear.
12. 12
    Cook for about a minute, then place skillet in a preheated 300 F oven to finish to your desired temperature.
13. 13
    Once cooked, remove skillet from oven and let beef rest for a few minutes.
14. 14
    Then cut into bite sized pieces.
15. 15
    Nibble around the bone.
16. 16
    Well, you dont have to but thats my favorite part.
17. 17
    Next its time to assemble the nachos.
18. 18
    Keep your oven preheated but increase the heat to 325 F.
19. 19
    Layer the base of an oven-safe skillet or plate with tortilla chips.
20. 20
    Top with the Monterey jack cheese, then add half of the diced onions.
21. 21
    Top with half of the kimchi, some of the beef, then layer with more chips, the mozzarella cheese, more onions, beef, and kimchi.
22. 22
    Pop this into the oven to get everything warmed through and get the cheese nice and melted.
23. 23
    During this time, cook the egg.
24. 24
    Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat.
25. 25
    Crack the egg and add it to the skillet.
26. 26
    With a spatula, break up some of the thick egg white so the egg cooks evenly.
27. 27
    Once the egg white is done and the yolk is done to your liking, remove from heat.
28. 28
    Remove the kimchi nachos from the oven and top with the egg.
29. 29
    Add the sour cream, and shower the nachos with the sliced scallions.
30. 30
    Now the moment youve been waiting for.
31. 31
    Dig in.
32. 32
    My preference is to take a nacho, break it into the egg yolk and a bit of the sour cream, and go to town.
33. 33
    The end result is probably, I kid you not, the best nachos Ive had.
34. 34
    There is something about the tanginess and spiciness from the kimchi that really makes these stand out.
35. 35
    The perfect Asian marinated beef, along with the creaminess from the egg yolk just made these nachos rock.
