Steak with Poblano Chiles and Onions

I believe in putting everything in a taco. I put mine in almond flour tortillas actually, but either way it’s a taco. So here’s one more meal that fits perfect in a taco, Steak with Poblano Chiles and Onions.  

I don’t make steak at home very much, not because I don’t like it, I love it. It just is more of a special occasion thing and it makes it more special when we make it. This recipe is made with flank steak, but can also be made with skirt steak. Take your pick.. I liked it hot and fresh but I also LOVED it the next day in an almond flour tortilla with a bit of cheese on it. My usual way of serving leftovers. 

So, if you like your steak medium rare, like in the picture.. Or maybe some of you may call it rare, then just watch your time on the searing, and don’t overdo it. But if you like it medium or well, then keep cooking it. To check I always just take out a piece and cut it open to see if it’s up to par. 

This next week I’m headed to Destin for 7 days with my family, after just returning from Seaside. I’m looking forward to reading, getting too much sun, paddle boarding, bike riding, good food, and of course, some card games with the family. I am working on releasing a meal plan in July. If you don’t know about it, sign up for my newsletter to be sure to hear about it. It’s probably the most exciting thing I’ve done for my blog thus far, and I can’t wait for you to see it. 

So, time to get to cooking. This Steak and Poblano Chiles recipe is straight forward, but it requires 20 minutes to marinate the steak, don’t forget that!

• On a baking sheet place the 3 chili peppers, whole, and broil in the oven for about 5 minutes or until they are charred.
