Take your steak next level with this Blue Cheese and Pecan Butter
It can well be argued great steak needs no additions – but you won’t regret adding this amazing savory butter. This compound butter...
I stumbled upon this recipe quite by accident, but isn’t that how some of the best ones start off? I had just returned from a week in Mexico City and Monterrey, totally inspired by the ingredients at the local markets. I had originally planned to use flor de jamaica (dried hibiscus flowers) to create an intensely colored rib glaze. But as I began adding the other ingredients, the color totally changed but the flavor developed into something incredible. Like, can’t-stop-sticking-my-finger-in-to-“taste-test” incredible.
The magic ingredient in this one is a commonly found Mexican sugar, piloncillo. Piloncillo is as unrefined as sugar gets. Also known as Panela, it’s unrefined sugar cane. The richness of the molasses flavors in piloncillo are incredible. Sometimes with regular brown sugar, the molasses is added to the refined sugar crystals. Not so in this case, you get the whole unadulterated flavor experience. And the resulting glaze is nearly the consistency of runny cajeta. Epic.
Use this glaze as you normally would for a ham sauce or glaze, starting to baste 20-30 minutes before your ham has finished cooking.
You can/should/must also use it with ribs, pork chops and frankly, even drizzle it on ice cream.

Browning the meat in pork lard and using great quality sauce are the key to these "better than restaurant" venison enchiladas.
Thinly slicing the meat is the key to these tender flavor packed sandwiches.
