Ingredients

1 package beef Top Sirloin steaks (Milanesa), thinly sliced to ⅛ – ¼-inch
½ cup Italian dressing
¼ cup fresh lime juice
1 Tbsp. honey
1 ½ tsp. ground cumin
8 jalapeño peppers
8 oz. smoked Gouda, shredded
Barbecue sauce (optional)

Preparation

Step 1

Combine Italian dressing, lime juice, honey, and cumin in a food-safe plastic bag; add steak, turning steak to coat. Close bag securely and marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to 2 hours. Remove steak from bag; discard marinade. Slice steak into strips, approximately 4 inches wide.
Step 2

Remove the stem and seeds from the peppers by carefully using a knife to carve the stem and seeds out from the top, keeping pepper whole. Stuff peppers with cheese. Wrap the steak around each pepper and secure with 2 toothpicks. Continue this process until all peppers are wrapped.
Step 3

Place poppers on grill over medium heat, ash-covered coals; grill uncovered 6 to 8 minutes (over medium heat on preheated gas grill, covered 10 to 12 minutes) or until internal temperature reaches 160°F and cheese is melted.
Step 4

Serve with BBQ sauce.
