That depends on how you prepare them. The spicy part of a jalapeno pepper is the seeds inside. When you're cutting them up and taking out the seeds you're getting rid of the spice, depending on how thoroughly you prepare them.

If you prefer a spicier jalapeno popper, another option is to include chopped pickled jalapeno peppers in your filling. Alternatively, you could also soak the steak in that tasty jalapeno juice before stuffing. Both excellent options for any lover of extra heat!
