Grilled Green Chile Steak - Santa Fe Style

Makes 4 servings.

Ingredients:

• Sauce

  • 2 - tablespoon olive oil

  • 1 - medium onion, finely chopped

  • 2 - cans chopped green chiles, (4 ounces), drained

  • 1/4 - teaspoon dried Mexico oregano

  • 1/2 - teaspoon cilantro

  • 1/4 - teaspoon ground pepper

  • 1 - teaspoon Chipotle sauce

• 4 - large mushrooms, thinly sliced

• 4 - tablespoons butter

• 4 - (about 8 ounces each) sirloin steaks (also 2 16 ounces steaks are fine, just cut in half)

• 1/4 - teaspoon Kosher salt

Directions:

Sauce

1. Heat sauté pan with a medium heat.  Add oil and sauté onion in until clear.  It should only take about 5 minutes.  
2. Now add in the green chiles, oregano, cilantro, pepper, and Chipotle sauce.  
3. You want to reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes.  You will want the sauce kept warm.  For a picnic, place in a thermal container.  
4. For the home, keep warm under a 200-degree oven.
5. In a sauté pan with a medium heat, add butter and melt.  Now add the mushrooms and sauté until soft.  This again should take you 5 minutes.

Prepare grill to a medium heat.

1. Place steaks on oil grill grid and cook for 15-20 minutes.  This is about medium doneness.  
2. Turn steaks only once or about 8 to 10 minutes on each side. 
3. When you finish cooking the steaks, place them on a platter.  Sprinkle with salt.  Now add your chile sauce and top with the sautéed mushrooms.

Picnicking & Tailgating

Make the sauce before and heat (on stove or in microwave) before leaving.  Sauté the mushrooms before hand and also heat before leaving.  Store both in thermal container to keep hot.
