Ray...Ray...Ray...what a surprise of a sauce! I honestly was skeptical of a sauce made with evaporated milk and jalapenos, but my gosh, this was good. Do people still use the word "scarf" as in "he scarfed" or "she scarfed" it down? Well, we ALL "scarfed" this one down.

    Very tasty and came together quickly when the steak was pan-fried. I think that a little bit of garlic and maybe sun-dried tomatoes would be delicious, though, perhaps, not necessarily very 'Costa Rican'!

    This steak was really good. We enjoyed the spice and the fact that it was different. I followed the directions exactly, except that I used Ribeye steaks instead of T-bones. I served this with "Perfect Rice Everytime" by Mean Chef.

    The sauce makes the steak....anyone can have a plain steak, but the sauce really makes this steak. We used sirloin. We served Tumeric Rice (recipe # 48162) and broccoli as sides. Delicious!! My husband is very in tune with what he puts in his body and he loved this meal!!
