Why This Recipe Works
This robustly flavored Cuban sauce makes a great dip for grilled steak, chicken, or pork. It's also the classic accompaniment to fried or boiled yuca. A generous amount of garlic, its bite tempered by the acid from lime and and orange juices, along with a large pinch of red pepper flakes, give this sauce plenty of zing.
