Perhaps it was the strong beer that continued to fill our cups. Maybe it was the humid summer night that left our skin moist and sticky. It could have been the scent of the fire clinging to our clothes and sending up smoke into the air creating the private oasis in our tiny backyard. Or, that there is something about eating with your hands and getting a little messy with another person that is primal and reaches deep down to our core. It really winds down to these beer marinated steak fajitas being not only delicious, but perfect for an evening where you want to turn up the heat a bit.

Then again, maybe it was really just the beer.
