60 minutes
Pork steak with poblano pepper sauce is a vibrant blend of American cuisine with Mexican influences. The tender, juicy piece of meat infused with grill aromas gains a unique flavor from the roasted poblano pepper, known for its mild heat and smoky undertones. The light acidity of lime and the sweetness of plum tomatoes create a harmonious balance that highlights the meat's flavor. This steak is perfect for a cozy family dinner or festive gathering and pairs wonderfully with corn tortillas, mashed potatoes, or a light vegetable salad. Its rich, deep flavor makes each serving unforgettable, while the warm aroma of the grill awakens the appetite even before the first taste.
