Mesquite… the word itself brings up visions of cook-outs, dusty sunsets over hot plains, and a dinner bell ringing melodically in the distance. Do those images translate to flavors? They do in this filet mignon stunner, a western delight mixed with cheddar mashed potatoes and healthy green beans. But the star, of course, is the smoky, salty, make-your-tastebuds-dance-the-conga flavoring on these steaks. It's the type of flavor magic that transports while satiating, bringing you into a new (old) world.
