Cheap steak. Great taste!
« on: June 15, 2023, 07:53:04 pm »
If you've ever had jalapenos grilled with steak, you may be a redneck! Seriously, give it a try. My wife doesn't eat jalapenos, but she loves the flavor they give the steak. And I get to eat her peppers too!

You're looking at cheap grocery store steak, Montreal Steak seasoning, and home grown peppers. I put the peppers on the grill first and let the skin blister. Add steaks with peppers on top. Flip once. Yum yum!  :icon_biggrin:

The wife grills jalapenos to go on our home made hamburgers. I also eat sliced jalapenos with my food almost every meal along with few squirts of Tabasco Sauce. That looks really good, I'll have to tell her about it. Cheap steak sounds good at today's prices :icon_biggrin:

Long time ago after work a few of us stopped at a Mexican bar just outside Philadelphia. One of the guys that l worked with, a southern boy who was just hired joined us. Three of us sat at the bar and ordered beers, on the bar sometimes they had canisters of nuts or whatever, free to enjoy with your beer. Well, this bar had a canister full
of hot peppers, l decided to try a small piece, tears were dripping down my face even after chugging my draft. The southern boy, Lonnie, says to me, “we eat peppers hotter than those”. I thought he was just being a badass, l offered him $5 if he could eat 5 peppers in one minute and had to chew them. These peppers were about three inches and extremely hot. Fastest $5 l ever lost, he gobbled the five in 40 seconds, chewing each one, no tears but his eyes were beat red. So, yeah southern boys can eat those jalapeño's.  Hope you enjoyed your steak, l’m sure you did, cheers :laugh:

I showed this to my wife and her question was what stage in the cooking process do you add the already blistered peppers to the stake? or completely after the stakes are done on both sides? We have the Montreal stake seasoning

When I was younger I use to eat peppers so hot it would make me cry but now I just
want enough heat that don't make me uncomfortable. A measure of where the wife
and I are at with hot seasoned food is when we buy salsa of similar things labeled "Hot",
it is usually just mild to us

Split the peppers and remove the seeds. (It's OK to wear rubber gloves.) Put the peppers on the grill first, skin side down, and let the skin blister. Then flip the peppers to cook the inside for a couple minutes. When the peppers are smelling good it's time for the steaks. As soon as you put the steaks on the grill, cover them with peppers, skin side up so the juices can dribble into the steak. The top side of the steaks will be raw at this time. Cook until time to flip. Then take the peppers off, flip the steaks, and put the peppers right back on. If y'all like to flip the steaks more than once, just take the peppers off, flip the steaks, and put the peppers right back on again. Repeat as many times as you like. I eat my steak medium rare so one flip is enough for me.

We use Montreal Seasoning on steak and chicken too
Will see if I can get my wife to try the jalapenos

Hot Peppers and jump scare movies are no no's with my wife
Sometimes it seems that they don't know what they're missing.
as it also is with screaming guitars and '57 chevys :-)

Made this pepper steak the other day. Excellent. Thanks!!!
Only I liked the jalapenos on the meat (even my heat loving boys)
Was great up until the last pepper. All of a sudden I was running for the milk.
Just call me "Willie the Wimp".

We got around to trying them too. First time I went a little to cheap on the stake and it was gristly and hard to chew but the flavor was good. We tried them again this week with a little better cut of stake and it was really good. I think this will be a regular eventfrom now on because the wife liked it too. Thanks!

After the jalapenos were charred I removed the skin AND seeds.
Leave the seeds and membranes for a real fun experience  :-)

You missed the first step...

Split the peppers and remove the seeds.
I use a sharp knife to split the peppers lengthwise. Then use a butter knife to remove the seeds. Peppers should look like this before they go on the grill...

I do let a seed or two escape from the wrath of the knife because I do like a touch of heat. We've also grill these sliced jalapenos to go on our burgers---yum yum :wav: :wav:

Boy sluckey you really started something here. Now we been having pepper stake every week. We got to where we can find a good tender tasteful stake for two in the $10 range. You have to look hard, be selective, but they are out there. I should of taken some pictures but when I'm called to the table, pictures are the last thing on my mind

Ha! - Living in Maine, I just transplanted mine in the garden.
In addition to Jalps; I grow Serrano, Poblano, Big Jim NewMex, Shoshito, and Aji.
A favorite - Poblano Cheeseburgers. Roast and peel the Poblanos - slit open and remove seeds and pith - stuff with sharp cheddar - reheat on grill as you cook the burger. Kaiser roll or toasted Dave's Killer English Muffin for the roll.

We have stake once a week with Jalapenos cooked in. My wife loves them as much or more than I do. I need to take a picture.
You really got something started sluckey!

The whole house smells good today. Plum jelly cooking on the stove, fresh picked blueberry pie still bubbling, baked potatoes in the oven, and pepper steaks ready for the grill. Yum! Yum!

I couldn't help myself. I had to cut that pie while it was still hot.   :icon_biggrin:
