I absolutely have to have a grilled jalapeno with my steak. It should be offered everywhere.

    I absolutely loathe jalapeños(and anything spicy, really) and I’m from the northeast. Even once they’re cooked and some people claim they lose their spiciness, i think they taste terrible. Ruining a good steak, in my opinion.

    I’m in south Texas and I love it. HEB’s and good food everywhere

    I’ve never seen that combo in my life, but I would absolutely destroy that plate.

    Feels like a Mexico thing so probably also a Texas thing. Lots of Mexicans I’ve known have a jalapeño in their lunch box like some kids have a snickers bar.

    *bites sandwich, bites jalapeño, eats a chip, repeat*

    I think it’s common all over the southwest. Yummy

    Have jalapeños come back? I gave up on them a few years ago because the heat levels were completely unpredictable. Some were great, exactly what you would expect. Others almost no heat at all. Was my experience a fluke? If not, has it come back around?

    That’s wild. This is exactly how I cook my steak. Loaded potato with grilled jalapeño, although no bread typically. Im very PNW, not south. Maybe it’s a taste thing and not regional?

    I live is Massachusetts and I grill hot peppers with every steak I make (usually straight from my garden to my Weber kettle). Not a regional thing up here I just low spicy food.

    Jalapeño toreado. The Mexican thing is to have a chile de amor(didas) with everything.

    That looks great. How was the steak?

    Never seen this before – but I know what I’m adding to my plate next time I cook a steak!

    Most carne asada I have in the DC area does this.

    Many Mexicans like a grilled or charred jalapeno as an addition to their meals. So good.

    No matter what I grill I throw jalapenos over the fire too. This combo looks fucking awesome.

    Spud still in the foil on the plate yea it’s a Mexican things a really good one at that

    Jalapeños aren’t hot in the United States anymore thanks Texas A&M. Get Mexican jalapeños or serranos if you want heat.

  17. Tacos_Andre_619

    SoCal checking in – I use Serranos but will accept a Jalapeño in a pinch

    We often have grilled jalapeño served with plates like this in New Mexico as well

    Every steak I had in Mexico was topped with something, while here it feels like a faux pas. I bet it’s just a regional thing, however, I’m definitely going to be trying this.

  20. I love this combo, but I always have to specify here in Chicago.

  21. Yes. Moved to Virginia & have been searching for a jalapeño since I got here. There doesn’t seem to be one in the entire state.

    You know what would really perfect that plate is some nopales y cebollitas!
