Bella Asada Summer Salad
Overview
Chef Octavio created a daring flavor combination that stood out from the completion and earned him 3rd place in our 2018 recipe contest. Bold flavors from the flank steak dramatically contrasted with the sweet and bright mango salsa. Smokey and juicy the thin-grained steak is recommend to be cooked over his heat and enjoy over a bed of crisp greens garnished with mango salsa. This recipe went above and beyond with a salsa mix of tender sun dried tomatoes, crunchy red onion, and added heat from the fresh jalapeño to create a huge flavor infusion combining different flavors of the world.
