Directions

  1. Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place serrano peppers with cut sides down onto the prepared baking sheet.

  2. Cook under the preheated broiler until the skin of the peppers has charred, 5 to 8 minutes. Immediately put peppers in a heatproof bowl, cover tightly with plastic wrap, and let sit until cool enough to handle, 5 to 10 minutes. Scrape the skins off with your fingers, core and seed chile peppers. Dice peppers.

  3. Cut rib-eye steak into thin slices. Chop slices finely. Transfer to a bowl. Add serrano peppers, egg, panko, sriracha sauce, ginger, salt, pepper, and lime zest. Wet your hands and form mixture into ping pong-sized balls.

  4. Coat a saute pan with olive oil and heat over medium-high heat. Add meatballs and sear both sides evenly, about 4 minutes. Pour in beer and soy sauce. Stir in peanut butter and reduce heat, simmer sauce until thickened, 5 to 10 minutes. Garnish with cilantro.
