Time 2h45m

Yield 12 tacos

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 1/2 pounds center-cut tenderloin
1 poblano chile
Olive oil, for drizzling
1 yellow onion, sliced into 1/4-inch strips
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
12 fresh corn tortillas
Cheese Sauce, recipe follows
12 pickled cherry peppers, stemmed, seeded and thinly sliced
One 12-ounce can evaporated milk
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
4 ounces sharp yellow Cheddar, freshly grated
2 ounces pepper jack cheese, freshly grated
2 ounces blue cheese, crumbled
2 teaspoons cornstarch

Steps:

  • Put the tenderloin on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for 1 hour. Flip the tenderloin and freeze for another hour. Use a very sharp knife to slice the meat as thinly as possible.
  • Roast the poblano directly over an open flame, turning regularly, until blistered and blackened all over, about 5 minutes. Put in a bowl, cover with a kitchen towel and let cool for at least 10 minutes. Rub off the blackened skin, remove the stem and seeds and slice into 1/4-inch strips.
  • Heat a cast-iron griddle over medium-high heat on one side and medium-low heat on the other side. On the cooler side, drizzle with olive oil, add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender and beginning to char, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the roasted poblano to the onions and cook for another 3 minutes.
  • Sprinkle the meat with a generous amount of salt and pepper. Drizzle the hot side of the grill pan with olive oil, then lay the meat in a single layer, in batches if necessary. Cook very quickly on the first side, about 1 minute. Flip and cook on the other side, another minute or so. Repeat the process until all the meat is cooked. Reserve in a bowl along with the onions and pepper until you are ready to serve.
  • Heat both sides of the griddle over medium-high heat and oil lightly. Arrange the tortillas in a single layer on the griddle and heat about 30 seconds per side, then wrap in a clean kitchen towel to keep warm.
  • To build the tacos: In a warm tortilla, layer some meat, spoon on a couple of tablespoons of Cheese Sauce, add a few of the pepper and onions and top with the pickled cherry peppers.
  • Set a medium saucepan over low heat. Add the evaporated milk and Dijon and whisk together until uniform and smooth. Toss the Cheddar, pepper jack and blue cheese with the cornstarch in a bowl until totally coated. Whisk the cheese mixture into the milk mixture and heat, stirring constantly, until all the cheese is melted and the sauce is silky and smooth, about 5 minutes. Keep warm over low heat until ready to use.

I'm a big fan of cheeseteaks, and these tacos were some of the best I've ever had. The grilled prime rib was tender and juicy, and the cheese sauce was creamy and flavorful. I highly recommend this recipe.

I love that this recipe uses grilled prime rib instead of steak. It gives the tacos a more upscale flavor. The cheese sauce is also very good. I will definitely be making these tacos again.
