Ingredients
  

Steak Rolls
  • 1.5 lb skirt steak trimmed
  • 1 tsp salt kosher
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper cracked
  • 1 tsp garlic powder dried
  • 1 tbsp olive oil for searing
Filling and Sauce
  • 1 cup Hatch green chiles roasted and peeled
  • 6 oz Monterey Jack cheese sliced strips
  • 0.5 cup white onion thinly sliced
  • 0.5 cup Roasted Hatch Green Chili Sauce for serving

Equipment

  • Cast Iron Skillet
  • Meat Mallet
  • Toothpicks
  • Sharp knife
  • Cutting board

Method
 

Prepare the Steak
  1. Place the skirt steak on a cutting board and use a meat mallet to pound it to an even 1/4-inch thickness.
  2. Cut the steak into 4-inch wide strips, cutting against the grain for maximum tenderness.
  3. Season both sides of each steak strip generously with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Stuff and Sear
  1. Place a strip of cheese, a few slices of onion, and a whole roasted chile at one end of each steak strip.
  2. Roll the steak tightly around the filling and secure the seam with a toothpick.
  3. Heat the olive oil in a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  4. Place the rolls in the skillet seam-side down and sear for 3-4 minutes per side until a dark, crispy crust forms.
  5. Remove the toothpicks and serve immediately with a side of Hatch Green Chile Mother Sauce.

Notes

For the best texture, ensure your skillet is screaming hot before adding the meat to achieve that signature crispy exterior. Use pre-roasted chiles to save time, or follow a guide on how to roast Hatch green chile over an open flame for extra smokiness.
