Phillie Nachos

Had these at a restaurant last week and have reversed engineered them.

Serves 4

You will need:
•1 tablespoon olive oil
•1 pound thinly sliced deli beef cut into stips
•1 teaspoon kosher salt
•1/2 teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper
•4 tablespoons butter, divided
•2 green bell peppers, seeds and ribs removed, diced
•1 medium yellow onion, diced
•1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
•2 tablespoons flour
•1 1/4 cup milk or cream
•1/2 teaspoon seasoning salt
•4 cups shredded medium cheddar cheese
•2 ounces cream cheese
•tortilla chips
1.Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add steak and salt and pepper. Cook until steak is cooked through. Transfer to a plate.
2.In the same skillet, melt 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Once butter has melted, add bell peppers, onions and Worcestershire sauce. Cook until onions start to brown 5 – 7 minutes. Return the steak to the pan. Reduce heat to low to keep mixture warm while you prepare the cheese sauce.
3.Melt remaining 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Whisk in flour. Cook 1 minute. Whisk in 1 cup of milk. Reduce heat. Bring milk to a simmer but do not boil. Stir in cheeses and seasoning salt. Cook until melted. If cheese sauce is too thick for your liking, add the remaining milk.
4.Place a couple large handfuls of tortilla chips on 4 plates. Spoon cheese sauce and steak and pepper mixture over the top. Serve immediately.

Hi, illiac — Is there any problem with substituting Velveeta or equivalent for the shredded cheddar?
