Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. Preheat the oven to 220°C. In a large bowl, toss the poblanos and tomatoes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Season with 1/4 teaspoon of salt and a couple of grinds of pepper. Arrange on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

    Bake for about 25 minutes, until the vegetables are tender and browned in spots. Set aside.
  2. Meanwhile, bring 3.5 cups of salted water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Stir in the cornmeal, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Stir constantly, and cook until thickened, 5-7 minutes.

    Add smoked cheese, butter, and 1/2 teaspoon salt, whisking until smooth. Cover and set aside.

  3. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season the steak with salt, pepper, and chili powder.

    Place the meat in the pan and cook until golden brown, 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer the steaks to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes.

    Toss the vegetables with lime juice and cilantro. Slice the steak across the grain. Serve with the vegetables, cornmeal, and lime wedges.
