Tampiqueña Steaks
Report
The steak is first seasoned and grilled with salt and pepper, then combined with freshly-roasted, long green chile and shredded Mexican cheese. The steak is broiled until all the ingredients are hot and juicy and the meat is cooked to perfection.

Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 2 White onions sliced
- 4 Anaheim or Hatch chiles roasted, peeled, stemmed, and cut into 1-inch strips
- 1 pound skirt steak
- Kosher or sea salt to taste
- freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 1 cup shredded Oaxaca or asadero cheese
Instructions
- In a large frying pan over medium-low heat, melt the butter. When the butter foams, add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent and starting to brown lightly, 12–14 minutes. Add the chile strips and cook, stirring, for 2–3 minutes to mix well. Remove from the heat and set aside.
- Prepare a fire in a charcoal or gas grill for direct grilling over medium-high heat. Preheat the broiler.
- Season the steak on both sides with salt and pepper and cut into 4 equal servings. Line a sheet pan with aluminum foil.
- Place the steak on the grill, close the lid, and grill, turning once, for 2–3 minutes on each side for medium-rare to medium, or cook to your desired doneness. Transfer the steak to the foil-lined sheet pan and let rest for 2 minutes. If you want to serve the steak a la mexicana, transfer the steak to a cutting board, chop it, and then return it to the sheet pan.
- Top the steak with the onion and chile mixture and sprinkle with the cheese. Place under the broiler and broil until the cheese melts and bubbles, 1–2 minutes. Serve at once.

- Want to add a delightful twist to the classic recipe? Consider pairing your carne a la tampiqueña with some succulent grilled shrimp or even a buttery lobster tail. The combination of juicy steak and seafood creates a surf 'n turf extravaganza that’s as celebratory as it is tasty.
- If you're looking for a vegetarian or vegan option, fear not! You can still enjoy the essence of carne tampiqueña. Instead of steak, swap it out with hearty Portobello mushrooms or marinated tofu. Grill them up, season them just right, and top them with caramelized onions, roasted peppers, and vegan cheese for a scrumptious plant-based version.
- Craving some extra heat? Add a kick of spice to your tampiqueña steak by incorporating jalapeños, chipotle peppers, or even a sprinkle of cayenne pepper. These fiery ingredients will elevate the flavor and give your tastebuds a spicy wake-up call.
- For a refreshing twist, squeeze a splash of lime juice over the steak, sprinkle some chopped cilantro on top, or even mix in some pico de gallo with the caramelized onions for an added burst of flavor and a touch of brightness.
- If you and lactose aren't friends, fret not. Simply swap in vegan butter or olive oil to cook the onions, and either omit the cheese or use a lactose-free or plant-based alternative depending on your preferences.
