Preparation

Step 1

Char chiles over gas flame or in broiler until blackened on all sides. Enclose in paper bag. Let stand 10 minutes. Peel and seed chiles; slice thinly.

Heat both oils in large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and sauté until translucent, about 2 minutes. Add poblanos, cream, and epazote, if desired; simmer until rajas thicken slightly, about 3 minutes. Season with salt.

Meanwhile, prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Sprinkle steaks with salt. Grill steaks to desired doneness, about 5 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer to plates; top with rajas and serve.

This recipe yields 4 servings.
