Ingredients

  • 10 ounces top sirloin steak strips
  • 1 tablespoon ground coriander
  • 1 yellow onion
  • ½ cup cooked pinto beans
  • ½ cup diced tomatoes
  • 2 poblanos
  • 3 or 4 sprigs fresh cilantro
  • Sun Basket romesco (roasted bell peppers - almonds - fresh garlic - sherry vinegar - sweet smoked paprika - olive oil - salt)

Make It Leaner

Use only half the romesco to cut out 128 calories and 11 grams of fat per serving. Save the rest for your next meal; romesco is delicious on scrambled eggs or salmon, as a dip for vegetable sticks, or whisked with some additional sherry vinegar for a flavorful and smoky red pepper vinaigrette.

Instructions

1

Sear the steak

If using for the poblanos, heat the broiler.
  • Cut a small corner from the steak packaging and drain off any excess liquid. Transfer to a plate; pat dry with a paper towel. Season generously with salt, pepper, and the coriander.
In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 teaspoon oil until hot but not smoking. Add the steak and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned but not yet cooked through, 2 to 4 minutes. Transfer the steak to a plate. Do not clean the pan.
While the steak sears, prepare the onion and beans.

2

Prep and cook the onion and beans; finish the steak

  • Peel and coarsely chop the yellow onion.
  • Rinse the pinto beans.
In the same pan used for the steak, if dry, add 1 to 2 teaspoons oil and warm over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Add the onion, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until starting to soften, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the beans and tomatoes and cook until heated through, about 1 minute. Add the steak and any accumulated juices and continue cooking until the steak is cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and season to taste with salt and pepper.
While the onion and beans cook, prepare the poblanos.

3

Char and stuff the poblanos

On the stovetop directly over a flame, or on a sheet pan under the broiler, roast the poblanos, turning regularly, until blistered and charred all over, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board to cool slightly. Cut the poblanos in half lengthwise and remove the ribs and seeds. Stuff the poblanos with the steak-bean mixture. Wash your hands after handling.
While the poblanos roast, chop the cilantro.

4

Prep the garnish

  • Coarsely chop the cilantro.

5

Serve

Spread the romesco onto individual plates, top with the chiles rellenos, and garnish with the cilantro.
