Steak. It’s simply perfect just the way it is. It can pull off casual backyard grill or upscale restaurants with ease and never miss a beat. It always leaves you satisfied and never lets you down. A good steak should never need fancy toppings or bonus accouterments. But every once in awhile, it’s nice to add a little something-something to the steak topper just to add a little color to the plate. Not because the steak needs it, but because you aren’t willing to waste space for sides. That’s where this Steak Jalisco comes in.
That’s right, you don’t have rooms for sides. This is about the beef.
