STEAK STUFFED JALAPENOS
I challenged Big Daddy to create one recipe each month for me. His assignment? A manly dish.
Considering this is the most searched-for recipe on Call Me PMc and steak and more steak are also very popular. I realize the demand for beef and hearty, meaty recipes. The last time he made something, he stuffed pork in pork and threw it on the grill! Readers like it!
So what category should I put his recipes in? Big Daddy’s Dishes, Manly food, Real Men Cook, Hunting camp food?? Leave a suggestion in the comments.

For those of you who love a little spice but need a little hearty as well, these Steak Stuffed Jalapenos are perfect. We used chuck eye steak, but any cheaper cut would work. I wouldn’t use filet, because of the expense but you certainly could.
Chuckeye steak is the more fatty end of a ribeye, but it’s much cheaper. It’s often referred to as the ‘poor man’s ribeye.’ It’s a good alternative to a ribeye with a little more fat and a little less tender. Most people can’t tell the difference, though. Give them an extra beer before serving; they’ll never know it’s not a ribeye.
But where does it come from?
A ribeye is cut from the 6th rib to the 12th rib of the cow. A chuck eye is cut from the 5th rib. I don’t know these things, I asked my butcher.
You’ll need
- fresh jalapenos, make sure they’re firm
- cream cheese, although you could sub Monterrey Jack, Havarti, gouda, any creamy mild cheese

Works so much better in an air fryer you don’t have to turn them and the cream cheese doesn’t run out
