Sliced Steak and Roasted Poblano Gravy

Submitted by PaulaG

"I saw this on Rachael Ray this week and made it as a welcome home from the hospital for my DH. It was served with Mashed Chipotle Sweet Potatoes and green beans. The gravy is wonderful and goes great on top of meat loaf as well as grilled chicken."

LOVED IT! Paula, not only did this gravy make a great steak sauce, but I believe I have finally found the enchilada sauce I've been searching for! I seasoned the steaks with cajun seasoning along with Jane's Krazy Mixed Up Salt and Pepper, and even on their own these steaks were very flavorful. But the sauce, oh my, was it good! I couldn't find poblano chilis, so I used dried California chilis and reconstituted them with the heated beef broth, then put them in the blender and through a sieve. Made for PAC, please see my rating system as I rate tougher than most. EDITED TO SAY THAT I'VE MADE THIS TWICE NOW AND IT'S OUTSTANDING!
