I am catching up on my reviews today. I can't remember when I first made this...a while back. DH hates it when I add anything to steak but he liked this seasoning. I was shocked! I used my own rice and beans recipe so I can't judge on that...the plantains are really nice on the grill...just love this and make it often, in fact, I'm making it tonight. I like to add a salad of lettuce, avocado, bacon and arugula with EVOO and white vinegar to round out the meal. Thanks for posting this keeper.
