Tastes Like Food

A couple of weeks ago, my man and I took a little trip to the Savory Spice Shop on Platte Street here in Denver. What a treat! So, in our trip we bought some fun flavors, including the “Family Style Fajita Mix” which we tested out tonight.

We marinated strips of steak in a bowl with 2 tbs of the spice mix dissolved in a cup of beef broth, juice from half of a lime and some olive oil. Then we pan seared the steak, with some red peppers and onions. This medley we combined with rice, mango salsa, and cilantro to make a tasty fajita. I’m calling these “Nouveau Fajitas” because we used brown rice, sirloin steak (I think you usually use lower-class meat for fajitas), and the mango salsa. We weren’t positive on why the spice is called Family Style – maybe because the portion in the mix bag is large to season lots of meat… or could be because it’s only mildly spicy and friendly for families (wink).
