Instructions
-
Prepare the Salsa: In a medium bowl, combine the thick & chunky salsa, canned black beans, finely chopped red onions, fresh cilantro, and lime juice. Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon of chili powder into the mixture and stir well. Once everything is combined, cover the bowl and refrigerate the salsa to allow the flavors to meld while you prepare the steaks.
-
Season the Steaks: Preheat your broiler and set the oven rack to a position about 4-6 inches from the heat source. Sprinkle both sides of your beef steaks with the remaining 1 teaspoon of chili powder and dried oregano leaves. Gently press the seasonings into the steaks to ensure even coverage. You can use fresh oregano instead for an extra burst of herb flavor.
-
Broil the Steaks: Place the seasoned steaks on the rack in your broiler pan. Broil the steaks for about 6 minutes on the first side, allowing them to cook under the heat for a delicious charred exterior. After 6 minutes, carefully flip the steaks over to cook the other side. Broil for an additional 2-5 minutes for medium doneness. Feel free to adjust the broiling time based on your preferred level of steak doneness.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Once the steaks are done, remove them from the broiler and let them rest for a few minutes. Serve the steaks with a generous portion of the salsa mixture on top or on the side for dipping. This flavorful topping pairs perfectly with the smoky, tender steak.
Enjoy your Broiled Santa Fe Steaks—a dish that’s simple, satisfying, and packed with flavor in every bite!
