Use a simple three-ingredient rub to infuse a savory flavor into sirloin beef. Sirloin makes an excellent choice for this recipe because it is a lean, well-flavored beef that works well with the salsa. Roasted red pepper, frozen corn kernels and basil jazz up canned salsa verde. The salsa can be used in other dishes such as with nachos or on top of grilled chicken. Use any leftovers on a steak salad for lunch the following day. Serve this dish with warm corn tortillas and pair it with a tossed salad. Garnish the recipe with basil.
