Note: This recipe appears in the South Beach Diet Quick and Easy Cookbook. This is a wonderful dish to cook all-year round especially in the summer on the grill. Poblano chiles are popular during the summer and whe they ripen and dry they're called ancho chilies. You'll find ground ancho chilies in a well-stocked grocery store or you can buy them whole and grind them in a spice grinder. You can even use regular chili powder as well and it will taste just as good. You can also use any kind of steak for this dish and it will be just a delicious.
