Yum, yum, yum! I have never heard of alcaparrado but I have big, fat Martini olives stuffed with pimentos and capers - so I guess I'll use that. I even have the steak in the freezer - home tonight to thaw it out and make for dinner tomorrow night! Thanks pleclare for supplying my menu for tomorrow! It will start my weekend off right.

This DOES sound incredible! I've never heard of alcaparrado either. I've seen Goya in the Mexican section, but don't know what that is either. (Man, I'm naive!) I DO know what capers are though - LOL and have them. I'm saving this and gonna try soon. Brad will love it! Thanks, Pat. ;')
