GRILLED GREEN CHILE-STUFFED PEPPER STEAKS WRAPPED IN BACON

Steps:

• Slice the steaks horizontally to create a pocket, but do not cut all the way through the steak. Place a green chile into each of the pockets. Wrap a strip of bacon around each steak in the same direction as the pocket and secure with a toothpick.
• Wrap the peppercorns in a kitchen towel and with a meat pounder or rolling pin gently pound the peppercorns until coarsely crushed. Press the crushed peppercorns into the sides of each steak. Place the steaks into a non-metallic pan.
• To make the marinade: combine the habanero sauce, Worcestershire, soy sauce, vinegar, and garlic powder in a bowl. Pour the marinade over the meat, and marinate in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 hours.
• Preheat the grill and bring the steaks up to room temperature before placing on the grill. Grill the steaks over medium heat for about 12 to 16 minutes for medium-rare or until the internal temperature reaches 150 degrees F.
• Place the steaks on individual plates and serve.

GRILLED CHEESE-STUFFED CHILE TACOS

Steps:

• Prepare a grill for high heat. Halve the Cubanelle peppers lengthwise, trim the tops and remove the seeds. Drizzle the peppers, tomatoes and onion rounds with oil, and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Place the vegetables on the hot grill, cut-side down, and cook 6 to 7 minutes, flipping halfway through, to get some charred areas and dark grill marks. Set aside the grilled pepper halves.
• Put the grilled tomatoes and onion, garlic, chipotles, cilantro, juice of 1 lime and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt in a food processor, and pulse about 20 times for a chunky salsa.
• Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits and scoop out the flesh with a spoon into a medium bowl. Add the remaining lime juice and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Mash the avocado lightly with a fork so that some large pieces remain.
• Stuff about 2 tablespoons of the Monterey Jack into each pepper half. Place a piece of aluminum foil, large enough to hold all the peppers, on the grill. Arrange the stuffed pepper halves on the foil. Cover the grill to melt the cheese, about 4 minutes.
• Heat the tortillas on the grill for about 30 seconds to 1 minute per side for light grill marks. Wrap the tortillas in aluminum foil to keep them warm and soft.
• To assemble a taco, spread some of the avocado on a tortilla. Top with a stuffed pepper half, followed by a spoonful of salsa, a dollop of the sour cream and some torn cilantro leaves.

CHILI CHEESE GRILLED CHEESE BITES

Steps:

• Preheat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Place the beef in a thin, single layer and cook, undisturbed, until the bottom begins to brown, about 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the seasoning. Mix the garlic powder, cayenne, cinnamon, cumin, mustard powder, onion powder and paprika and 2 teaspoons salt in a small bowl. Check to make sure the bottom of the beef is a brown color, add the seasoning, then stir to combine and cook for 4 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste and cook until the mixture is brick red, about 1 minute. Stir in 3 ounces of water, then remove from the heat.
• Preheat a large nonstick pan or griddle over medium heat.
• Place 4 of the bread slices on a work surface. On each slice, spread 1 tablespoon (0.5 ounce) of cream cheese, then top with 1 heaping tablespoon of Cheddar and set aside.
• Spread 2 heaping tablespoons of the chili on 4 more of the bread slices.
• Place 2 heaping tablespoons of Cheddar on the top left corner of the pan, spreading it out so it resembles the shape of a brioche slice as much as possible. Repeat three more times to create 4 squares or rectangles.
• Place each cheese-topped bread slice, cheese-side up, on top of a square of melting Cheddar. Top each with a chili-topped bread slice, chili-side up. Cook until the cheese starts to turn dark, golden yellow around the edges and is slightly crispy, about 5 minutes. Transfer the sandwiches to a plate.
• Place 2 heaping tablespoons of Cheddar on the top left corner of the pan, spreading it out so it resembles the shape of a brioche slice as much as possible. Repeat three more times to create 4 squares or rectangles.
• Place each of the 4 remaining bread slices on top of a square of melting Cheddar. Top with the sandwiches, chili-side down. Cook until the bottoms are crunchy and golden, about 5 minutes more. Transfer to a cutting board. Cut each sandwich into 4 squares and serve immediately.

STUFFED PEPPERS WITH BEEF, RICE, SPINACH AND CHEESE

Steps:

• Preheat a griddle or grill pan. Seed chile peppers. Drizzle peppers with a little oil and grill over medium high to high heat 3 or 4 minutes on each side, until tender. Transfer peppers to a broiler pan or baking sheet, hollow side up.
• Place a small skillet on the stove top and add 1 tablespoon, 1 turn of the pan, olive oil and a crushed clove of garlic. Heat over medium flame and add spinach in bunches until it is all wilted and is giving off liquid. Season greens with salt and pepper. Remove spinach and drain. Set aside.
• Preheat broiler to high.
• Defrost beef and rice in microwave oven. Combine 1/2 cup broth and defrosted rice in the skillet you cooked the spinach in and reheat over medium flame. Add 1 cup tomato sauce and heat through.
• Pile spinach and hot beef and tomato rice into peppers, mounding them up in the center of each pepper. Top liberally with grated cheese and melt cheese under broiler 3 to 5 minutes, then serve.

ROAST BEEF SANDWICH WITH GREEN CHILIES AND CHEESE

• Lay the two slices of sourdough on a bread board, side by side.
• On one side, place cheddar cheese, Ortega chilies and roast beef.
• On other side, place Jack cheese, and tomato slices.
• Both sides are loaded from the bread up.
• Close Sandwich and cook in 1T butter on each side. Cook very slowly, so all fillings are warm and cheese is melted.

GRILLED CHILIES WITH BEEF AND CHEESE STUFFING #RSC

Steps:

• Brown the ground beef. Drain excess fat. Stir in softened cream cheese while still hot so that it melts evenly together.
• Mix jack cheese, tomatoes, onions, and salt into the beef-cheese mixture.
• Clean seeds out of peppers by first cutting around the stem then gently sliting one side of the pepper lengthwise almost but not quite to the end.
• Stuff the peppers with the meat mixture. Don't overstuff, you want to be able to close the slit so that the cheese doesn't leak out.
• Wrap each pepper in foil and fold the ends over to create a good seal.
• Grill on medium-high with the lid down about 3-5 minutes per side (rolling at least 3 times), or until the pepper is grilled to the desired doneness and the filling is hot. Grilling an extra, unstuffed pepper in the usual way can serve as a doneness indicator since it would be done just a little bit before the stuffed pepper. We like our peppers tender but not mushy.
• I recommend serving with a summery salad with plenty of tomatoes and cucumbers in it, tortillas, and Mexican rice.
• Note: Can be prepped ahead and held in the fridge before grilling but grilling will take longer if the filling is cold.
• Note: Peppers vary in size so if you have any filling left put it into a small dish and heat well to serve with tortillas or pita chips.
• Note:Wear gloves when handling the chilies and be careful not to touch eyes or other sensitive body parts.
• Option: Mix could be used to stuff Jalepeno peppers as appetizers if you cut the tomatoes small enough and used a fish basket for the grilling.
• Option: If you are feeding people who can't handle hot peppers substitute Cubanelles or Italian Frying Peppers. I do not recommend bell peppers for this recipe because the peppers will cook to the mushy point by the time the filling is hot.
