BRAZILIAN MARINATED STEAKS WITH CHILE LIME SAUCE
For me, a steak is a steak - this is really all about the sauce. Let your tongue be your guide - the malagueta pepper is a very hot pepper. It has a range of 60,000 to 100,000 Scoville units, about the same as a tabasco or a Thai pepper. By comparison, its lowly jalapeƱo cousin only rates between 2,500 and 10,000 Scoville units in heat. Either way, remember to wash up after handling them! Be prepared for fragrant breath after this meal as garlic and onion are present in abundance. You may even enjoy the smell again in a hot shower the next morning as is oozes through your pores. ;-)
