Note: This
recipe requires advanced preparation
Grilled steaks
no longer have to be just a plain piece of meat.
Any type of
fresh chile or combination of chiles can be substituted for
the jalapenos
in this recipe. Prepare the stuffing the day before and
refrigerate.
One hour before cooking, slice the steaks and fill with the chile
mixture.
Allow the meat to come to room temperature before grilling.
10 jalapeno chiles,
stems and seeds removed, chopped
1 medium onion,
chopped
4 cloves garlic,
minced
1 tablespoon
vegetable oil
1/2 cup grated
Monterey Jack cheese
2 pounds trimmed
fillets of beef, cut into 4 thick steaks
Freshly ground
black pepper
Saute the chiles,
onion, and garlic in the oil until soft but still a
little crisp.
Remove, cool, and mix in the cheese. Slice into the steaks from the
edge, creating
a "pocket" for the stuffing. Stuff with the jalapeno mixture and
fasten the opening
with a toothpick, if necessary. Season the outside of each
steak with the
black pepper. Grill over hot charcoal to desired doneness.
