Steak with Chipotle Cilantro Cheese Sauce

I have some leftover chipotle chilis in my fridge. After frantically sweet-talking the deli at Market on Yates to jerry-rig me a giant veggie platter faster than god knows what, I had 20 minutes to kill wandering around the fancy cheeses and started thinking about dinner. I really like boursin cheese on steak, but I didn't have any of that at home... but then I remembered this philly cheese sauce recipe that worked out really well and the rest is history. Just like this dinner.


I like to think of different things to put on steak. Paul and I eat a lot of it (lucky us) so its nice to be able to keep mixing it up. This sauce was a bit on the spicy side, but I kind of like that in a sauce. I would probably dial down the heat a bit if I made it again.
