Welcome to Flatop King and introduction of the recipe.

Prepare ribeye steak by cutting it into smaller pieces to fit through the grinder.

Place the cut ribeye in the freezer for about 20-30 minutes to firm it up for grinding.

In a pot, add about 1/3 to 1/4 cup of heavy cream and heat it up.

Add half a stick of cheese (2 slices of American cheese) to the heavy cream and melt it down, checking the consistency as it melts.

Slice onions thinly, using a mandolin or knife, to prepare for cooking.

Heat the Blackstone 22-inch griddle and prepare to cook the vegetables.

Add a little bit of onion and bell pepper to the griddle, seasoning with salt and pepper, and cook until warmed up.

Grind the ribeye using a meat grinder set to a medium grind for texture.

Form the ground ribeye into five loosely packed equal portions.

For the first method, combine the beef, onions, and peppers together on the griddle.

Cook the beef mixture until the onions and peppers are cooked through and the beef is browned.

For the second method, smash the beef on the griddle, ensuring it spreads edge to edge for coverage.

Add the cooked onions and peppers on top of the smashed beef after cooking.

Serve the tacos with cheese sauce made from sharp cheddar and American cheese, or with provolone cheese as an option.
