Ingredients

  • 1/2 poblano or Anaheim pepper, stem and seeds removed
  • 1 unpeeled garlic clove
  • 1 teaspoon minced fresh cilantro
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin, divided
  • 1/8 teaspoon plus 1/4 teaspoon chili powder, divided
  • 2 beef tenderloin steaks (4 ounces each)
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • Dash salt and pepper

Directions

  • Broil the pepper half and garlic clove 4 in. from the heat until

  • cover and let stand for 15-20 minutes.

  • Stir in the cilantro, 1/4 teaspoon cumin and 1/8 teaspoon chili
  • powder; set aside.
  • Rub steaks with oil. Combine the salt, pepper and remaining cumin and
  • chili powder; rub over steaks. In a nonstick skillet, cook steaks
  • over medium-high heat for 5-7 minutes on each side or until meat
  • reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a meat thermometer should
  • read 145°; medium, 160°; well-done, 170°). Let stand for
  • 5 minutes. Serve with poblano relish. Yield: 2 servings.
