When he was a part of a gourmet culinary group, my brother offered me this recipe. It is straightforward but tasty, particularly when the steak is prepared using mesquite briquettes.

Very nice flavor. Could be used for so many things – cocktails, added to champagne or sparkling water, drizzled over cake or fruit. I might add a bit more black pepper next time, as the flavor wasn’t really coming through for me.
