Add the lime juice, brown sugar, hot sauce and garlic, seal the bag and shake to blend.
Place the steak into the marinade, seal the bag and turn to coat.
Refrigerate at least 2 hours, turning the bag occasionally to keep the meat well covered.
Preheat the grill to medium heat.
Remove the steak from the marinade, place it on the grill and discard the marinade.
Grill the steak for 5 minutes.
Turn the steak and grill for 5 minutes longer or until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees for a medium done steak.
Cool the steak and slice across the grain.
Place the remaining ingredients into a mixing bowl and stir until blended together well.
Sever the salsa over the slices of steak.

Makes 4 servings

The citrus salsa adds a little zing to this delicious grilled steak leaving you with no need for that heavy steak sauce. The marinade gives you a steak that is moist and full of flavor. To grill the steak to medium rare the meat thermometer should read 145 degrees and for well done it should read 170 degrees.

potatoesBaked, broiled, fried, boiled or raw, a potato is one of the greatest vegetables around. This vegetable is one of the most frequently used vegetables as a side dish to every meal.

It’s your anniversary or birthday and you pick a fancier restaurant to eat at and you order a steak. Have you ever thought about your side choices? They are usually baked potato, French fries or potato salad, which of course all use the potato.

Baked potatoes are one of the healthier choices you can make. Unless, of course, you add sour cream, bacon and cheese sauce and then the choice isn’t the healthiest one to make. Sounds good though doesn’t it.

Broiled potatoes are wonderful but full of calories. To keep them a little healthier just add butter and leave off the sour cream and chives toppings.

There are many ways to fry potato the most famous being the French fry. With certain foods, you want to add some onions slices, a little oil and your potatoes and you have a wonderful side dish that all of the family will like. Try shredding the potato and adding onion bits and some cheese and you have a delicious side dish for breakfast with your eggs and bacon.

Boiled potatoes can be used either hot or cold. Boiled potatoes with the jackets (skins) on are very similar to a baked potato but don’t take quite as long to cook. You can also use boiled potatoes and peel them, dice them and add some eggs, pickle relish and a mayonnaise based dressing and you have a wonderful potato salad fit for your family and friends!

Take your raw potatoes and quarter them and place in the crock pot with some carrots and your favorite roast and you have a great Sunday lunch for after church or while watching football. It is one of the quickest meals that can be prepared and will make your taste buds burst with the great flavor. Peal and slice a potato and add some salt. These are a favorite around the house.

Grilling a potato is also a great choice. Add sliced onions, mushrooms and carrots and you have a great vegetable medley that everyone will love!
