Description

Imagine biting into a roasted poblano pepper, its skin slightly wrinkled and infused with a gentle smoky char. The pepper itself, with its mild heat and subtle sweetness, yields to reveal a treasure trove of savory fillings. At the heart of this dish lies tender, marinated steak, grilled to perfection and diced into bite-sized pieces.

The marinade, a blend of herbs and spices, permeates the meat, resulting in an explosion of flavor with every mouthful. The steak’s robust taste is beautifully balanced by the creamy tang of goat cheese, which melts slightly into the warm ingredients, creating pockets of decadent richness. Adding another layer of complexity are the caramelized onions, slow-cooked until they reach a deep golden brown.

Their sweetness intensifies as they cook, complementing the savory elements of the steak and cheese. The onions provide a soft, almost jam-like texture, contrasting with the slight chew of the steak and the firmness of the pepper. Each component is carefully layered and nestled within the pepper, creating a harmonious blend of flavors and textures.

The gentle heat of the poblano, the rich steak, the tangy cheese, and the sweet onions all work together to create a truly satisfying culinary experience. The overall effect is both comforting and exciting, a dish that is hearty enough for a main course yet refined enough to impress. Whether enjoyed on a cool evening or as a flavorful lunch, these stuffed peppers are a delight to the senses.

Consider pairing these stuffed peppers with a fresh garden salad or a light vegetable medley to complete the meal and create a well-rounded and satisfying dining experience. The combination of the stuffed pepper and a complementary side dish makes for a balanced and flavorful meal that is sure to please. These stuffed poblano peppers are a testament to the power of simple ingredients, expertly combined to create something truly special.

Instructions

    1.
    Place the sirloin in a ziploc bag and coat it in the olive oil, salt, pepper, cumin, paprika, coriander, and red pepper. Use the bag to spread the seasonings around to coat the steak. Seal the bag and marinate in your refrigerator for 6 or more hours.
    2.
    When you are ready to cook your meal, heat a medium sized skillet over high heat and place in the steak with as much oil and seasonings from the bag as possible. Cook the steak on both sides for 6-7 minutes. You can cook for longer to reach as dark of a coloring as you like. When you flip the steaks over, place chopped onion around them.
    3.
    Transfer the cooked steak to a cutting board to rest. Turn the heat down lower on your onions in the pan and add a couple tablespoons of water to the pan. Continue cooking the onions, adjusting the heat as necessary, until the onions are translucent, caramelized, and the liquid is evaporated.
    4.
    While you are cooking the steaks, bring a pot of water to a boil. Remove the tops and seeds from your poblano peppers and place them in the boiling water. Boil the peppers for only 3 minutes - until they are bright green and slightly tender but still firm. Drain the peppers and transfer them somewhere to cool.
    5.
    Preheat an oven to 350 degrees. Once the steak is cool enough to handle, use a pair of forks to finely shred the steak or chop it into very small, fine pieces. Combine the steak in a mixing bowl with the cooked onions and the goat cheese.
    6.
    Stuff both poblanos with your steak mixture. Place the peppers in a shallow baking dish, and bake them uncovered for 15 minutes. Serve hot!
