Spiced & Scented Pumpkin Green Chile Steak Sauce with Manchego

Spiced & Scented Pumpkin Green Chile Steak Sauce with Manchego

1 14oz. can organic pumpkin puree
1 6oz. can diced green chiles (medium spice)
2 Tbs. garam masala powder
1/4 tsp. sea salt

4 4oz. filet mignon steaks
sea salt and pepper + olive oil for brushing

4 oz. aged Manchego cheese, thinly sliced

 

Preheat the oven AND a cast iron grill pan to 500 degrees.

Bring the steaks to room temperature and season with salt and pepper, as well as rubbing both sides of the steaks with olive oil.

 

In a food processor, combine the canned pumpkin, green chiles, garam masala, and salt and process until smooth.

Transfer to a medium saucepan and heat until bubbling. Reduce to a simmer, only to keep warm while the steaks cook.

 

Please each steak on the piping hot cast iron grill and cook for 5 minutes on each side – hot and fast!

 

Remove the steaks from the oven and allow to sit at least 5 minutes before serving. Top with loads of the spiced pumpkin sauce, as well as a thick slabbed slice of sharp, aged Manchego.
