Tex-Mex Bavette Steak with Mango Salsa

• While rice cooks, drain mango over a small bowl, reserving juice; roughly chop. Zest and quarter lime. Roughly chop cilantro. Trim and thinly slice scallions. • To bowl with mango juice, stir in Tex-Mex paste, juice from half the lime, and 2 TBSP water (3 TBSP for 4 servings).

• In a medium bowl, combine chopped mango, cilantro, scallions, and a squeeze of lime juice to taste. Season with salt and pepper.

• Pat pork dry with paper towels and season all over with half the Southwest Spice Blend (all for 4 servings), salt, and pepper. • Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add pork and cook until browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes per side. TIP: If seasoning begins to burn before pork is cooked through, reduce heat to medium. • Turn off heat; transfer to a cutting board to rest for at least 5 minutes. Wipe out pan.

Swap in chicken or steak for pork; cook chicken until browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes per side, or cook steak to desired doneness, 5-7 minutes per side.

• Return pan used for pork to medium-high heat. Add Tex-Mex paste mixture and bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly reduced, 2-3 minutes. • Remove from heat; stir in 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings) until melted.
