Brooke's Notes: This was incredibly tasty! I would suggest that after you cook the meat and slice it that you place it in a warm oven for a few minutes, otherwise your steak will taste cold. You have to let the steak cool down enough to cut, but once you toss with the salsa it becomes cold. I would also suggest tenderizing the meat before you marinate it. That will ensure that the meat soaks up all of the flavor and be mouth watering juicy!! :) Enjoy!
