I love the flavor of
- skirt steak
- sirloin steak
- short rib meat
- top or bottom round
Here's the deal - eat what you enjoy, but don't be afraid to step a bit outside your comfort zone, you just might find a new delicious flavor you love!
I enjoy serving a spicy meal with bright flavors like mango, canned mandarins or strawberries! All offer a bright taste that pairs nicely with the rich flavors of this meal.
