# Preparation Steps:
01 -
Preheat oven to 400°F. Place hatch green chiles on a baking sheet and roast for 20 minutes, turning occasionally until skins are blistered and charred. Transfer peppers to a sealed plastic bag and let steam for 20 minutes. Peel off the skins, remove stems, and rinse out seeds.
02 -
Lay the thinly sliced sirloin steaks flat on a rimmed pan. Season both sides with steak spice blend, salt, and ground white pepper. Layer baby spinach and strips of prepared hatch green chiles across each steak. Add crumbled queso fresco in the center of each steak.
03 -
Starting from one end, roll each steak tightly while keeping the filling inside. Secure each roll up with toothpicks to prevent filling from escaping during roasting.
04 -
Arrange secured steak roll ups on a rimmed baking sheet. Roast on the center rack in the preheated 400°F oven for 15 minutes, or until the meat is browned on the outside and the cheese has softened.
05 -
While the steaks roast, combine Greek yogurt, cilantro, lime zest, and lime juice in a blender. Pulse until the cilantro is incorporated but not pureed. Adjust seasoning with salt and ground white pepper to taste.
06 -
Remove the steak roll ups from the oven and allow to rest for 5 to 10 minutes. Slice crosswise, arrange on a platter, and drizzle generously with cilantro-lime yogurt sauce. Garnish with remaining crumbled queso fresco before serving.
