South of the Border Sirloin

South of the Border Sirloin
Marinated in beer and jalapenos, these steaks have a mild kick the whole family will love! They’re topped with veggies, bread crumbs and cheese for a fussed-over look and very special taste. But they’re oh-so-easy to prepare! Gilda Lester - Millsboro, Delaware
