I found this recipe on the web a few years back. You can tell its not one of my experiments, no hot peppers. It is one of my favorites and I get rave reviews when I cook it for friends. It works well with mahi mahi as too, though mahi mahi shouldn't be eaten rare. Not health food, but hey, that's what Decadent Saturdays are for.
