Método
  1. Start by combining all of the rub ingredients in a small dish. Season the skirt steak and allow it to sit and marinate until the grill is hot and you have the rest of the ingredients prepped. 
  2. Prepare the Pico de Gallo, in a bowl combine the diced tomatoes, red onion, jalapeno, and garlic. Squeeze over with half a lime, taste, and add more if needed. Salt to taste and set in the refrigerator to let the flavors meld. 
  3. Preheat the grill to between 400 and 450°F using all burners.
  4. Dice the peppers, onions, and begin laying out the ingredients. 
  5. When the grill is nice and hot, sear the steak over direct heat on both sides until an internal temperature of 130°F is reached. Remove the skirt steak from the grill and allow it to rest while you build up the nachos. 
  6. Arrange the tortilla chips on the unsoaked planks. Sprinkle the chips with onion, peppers, and cheese. Place the planks onto the barbecue and close the lid.
  7. *We use unsoaked planks for this recipe because you don’t want wet wood against crisp tortilla chips. 
  8. Cook the nachos on the plank for 5 to 15 minutes, until the cheese is melted and hot. Remove the planks from the grill. 
  9. Slice the steak against the grain and then roughly chop into bite-sized pieces. Toss the steak with any remaining drippings, then top the hot nachos. Add some shredded lettuce, the fresh pico, a drizzle of sour cream, and any additional toppings that you want. 
  10. Share these plank roasted nachos with your friends or hoard a board all for yourself. Either way, you’re going to enjoy it.
