Spicy Steak Tampico Recipe

  • Preheat greased barbecue grill to medium-high
  • Instant-read thermometer
  • Ovenproof plates
  • 4 beef tenderloin medallions (each 6 oz/175 g and ¾ inch/2 cm thick)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil 30 mL
  • Seasoned salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 cup roasted green chile peppers 250 mL
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese 250 mL
  1. Brush steaks thoroughly with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
  2. Place medallions on preheated grill, close lid and grill, turning once, until an instant-read thermometer registers 145°F (63°C) for medium rare, 5 to 8 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate, tent with foil and let stand for 10 minutes.
  3. Preheat broiler with rack 3 to 4 inches (7.5 to 10 cm) away from heat. Place steaks on individual ovenproof plates. Top each steak with equal amounts of chile and cheese. Broil until cheese melts, about 2 minutes. Serve immediately.
