So today I'm making steak and potato nachos,

so I made this into a video and once it was made,

I usually like to take my food home,

but in this case, it didn't happen,

because all my coworkers ate it.

I've got three russet potatoes, which I'm going to season

with olive oil, salt, pepper and paprika.

I'll bake the potatoes at 450 degrees for about 20 minutes.

While that's cooking, I'm going to season the steak and

get a nice sear on them roughly three minutes each side.

I'll flip the steak once.

After that, I'll let the steak rest for eight to 10 minutes

because it's still cooking after you take it out of the pan.

Once the potatoes are ready, I'm going to lay them

around the cast iron pan and sprinkle the steak on them.

When everything's assembled, I'm gonna cover the dish

with freshly grated cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese.

And then I'm just gonna boil it seven to 10 minutes

until everything's nice and melted and then top it off

with sour cream and salsa and serve it.

When I was younger, I wasn't really allowed in the kitchen.

My mom would always shoo me away,

but then going to college, my dad said this would be

a good way to go on dates, if women knew you could cook.

- [Hannah] Today I'm making Korean pork belly nachos.

I make a lot of desserts for Tasty.

I'm kind of known for making cheesecake.

This is a little out of my comfort zone.

So the first thing I'm gonna do

is get this pork in the marinade.

It's gonna marinate in some kimchi juice, soy sauce,

sesame oil, Korean red pepper, and honey.

Then I'm gonna sear it on extremely high heat to try to

render the fat a little bit to get it nice and crispy.

And while that cooks, I'm gonna dice my toppings.

I got some red onions, some kimchi, and I'll layer that

on top of the pork and the chips.

I'm gonna grate some cheddar and Monterey Jack

and let that melt on top of the nachos.

And then my finishing touches

are gonna be some diced tomatoes and green onions

and that's gonna go on top of everything once it's melted.

And I'm gonna mix some sour cream with kimchi juice

and drizzle that on top as a finishing touch

to tie it all together.

When I think of nachos, I think of kind of the standard

salsa, beans, cheese, whatever you like on that,

so this is just a really, really different type of nacho.

It's not too loaded, it's not too heavy,

but it still has a lot of flavor.

- [Nick] Hi, I'm Nick and I'm making

spicy, cheesy, blackened chicken nachos today.

These guys cook like this all the time.

This is my first time like cooking with all these cameras

and these fancy lights and these microphones.

Like I'm not gonna lie, I'm scared.

I'm gonna season my chicken with cajun seasoning,

garlic powder, chili powder, and hot sauce.

While that's cooking, I'm going to cut up some onions,

tomatoes, jalapenos, and corn.

I'll saute those veggies with more cajun seasoning.

I'll add the blackened chicken to the mixture

and top it all off with freshly grated

pepper jack cheese and salsa.

Broil that until the cheese is melted.

I'm from Louisiana and I love spicy food.

I like to entertain at home.

This will be like a cute little appetizer,

get everybody nice and spicy and moving around,

and hot and sweaty before we go dancing.

- [Taste-Tester 1] What kind of beautiful mess is this

that I walked into?

- [Taste-Tester 2] That's exactly what nachos are,

a beautiful mess.

- [Taste-Tester 1] This is real crunchy.

It's got a nice crunch to it.

- [Taste-Tester 3] Got a nice crunch to it.

- [Taste-Tester 2] I love this, but it doesn't

have that classic nacho cheese.

- [Taste-Tester 3] Yeah.

- [Taste-Tester 1] It's very original though.

Okay, let's go to the next one.

It almost functions kind of like a dip.

This looks like a little bit of salsa, a little cheese.

That is delicious.

- [Taste-Tester 2] It is spicy, though.

- [Taste-Tester 1] This is the perfect

ratio of cheese right here.

Steak!

- [Taste-Tester 2] Steak and potatoes.

- [Taste-Tester 1] I want this so badly.

- [Taste-Tester 2] Are you kidding me?

- [Taste-Tester 1] There's a lot of cheese.

- [Taste-Tester 2] Oh wait, are there no chips?

Can we all agree though if this one had

crispy potato chips, it would win?

- [Taste-Tester 3] For sure, the flavors

in this one was on point.

- [Taste-Tester 1] Mainly we're just thankful that

they made this food for us.

- [Taste-Tester 3] I can't stop eating.

- [Taste-Tester 2] Yeah, I'm just gonna keep eating it.

My winner, my decision is this guy.

- [Taste-Tester 1] Mine is the blackened chicken.

- [Taste-Tester 2] Angela?

- [Angela] Mine was the blackened chicken, as well.

- [Nick] Yeah! I won, I won, I win everything.

Yes, what do I win?

(upbeat surfer music)

- [Narrator] Oh yes!
