Servings: 6 servings

Ingredients

  • 2 rib-eye steaks or sirloin, NY strip, or filet
  • 2 ears corn husks and silks removed
  • Stubb's Beef Spice Rub to taste, for steaks and corn
  • olive oil for drizzling
  • Stubb's BBQ Sauce about 2 tablespoons to toss with sliced steak, plus extra for serving
  • 1 bag tortilla chips
  • 1 cup canned pinto beans drained and rinsed
  • 2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese
  • salsa for topping
  • avocado sliced, for topping
  • jalapeño sliced, for topping
  • cilantro chopped, for topping
  • red onion chopped, for topping
  • sour cream for topping

Instructions

  • Heat a gas grill to medium-high (or preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat).
  • Coat both sides of the steaks with Stubb's Beef Spice Rub and drizzle with olive oil to lightly coat.
  • Remove husks and silks from the corn, then season the ears with spice rub and a drizzle of olive oil.
  • Place the steaks and corn on the grill. Grill steaks about 4–5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness. Grill corn, turning frequently, until lightly charred, about 10 minutes total.
  • Transfer the steaks to a cutting board and let rest for 10 minutes, then cut into bite-sized pieces and toss with about 2 tablespoons Stubb's BBQ Sauce.
  • Cut the kernels from the grilled corn cobs and set aside.
  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Arrange a layer of tortilla chips on an oven-safe pan or cast-iron skillet.
  • Pile the BBQ-tossed steak over the chips, then scatter the pinto beans, grilled corn kernels, and shredded Mexican blend cheese evenly over the top.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the cheese is melted, about 5–10 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and top with salsa, sliced avocado, jalapeño, chopped cilantro, chopped red onion, sour cream, and additional BBQ sauce as desired, then serve immediately.
