We're in snowy cold Chicago, home of Italian Beef and correct pizza, far from Texas, Mexico, and anything surrounding. (This meal can run in August, and snowy cold Chicago might still be apt!) But while we may be well north of the Rio Grande, we can appreciate the great flavors of that region: spicy, feisty, and with corn. We think this steak does the cuisine proud. (And at least we're not in New York City!)
