Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.

A thick T-bone steak dressed up with sweet & spicy salsa is the embodiment of all that Tex-Mex should be. The cool salsa, bursting with flavor from papaya, cilantro, and chiles, beautifully balances the grilled steak.

It's been a while since I cooked up a t-bone steak so tried this recipe out since my store had some lovely ones on sale. GOOD RECIPE!! The salsa really dresses things up. Nice presentation too.

Everything about this recipe was outstanding! The rub on the steaks was tasty yet didn't overpower the natural steak flavor like some marinades and rubs can do. The salsa added a nice contrast to the warm meat. The grilled onions are the perfect match with steak (of course!). This recipe is a keeper!
