Recipe News: Mango salsa can top a juicy steak

"Ripe, sweet Florida mangoes are at the height of their season. They make a great accompaniment for a juicy steak.

Simply saute the steak and top it with a mango salsa for a quick summer meal.

Here's an easy method to cut a mango into cubes:

• Stand the mango on the thick end and cut it in half on each side, sliding the knife down the side of the stone.

• Run a large spoon around the edge of the flesh and scoop it out.

• Cut the pulp into ¼-inch pieces. Do this over a bowl to catch the juices.

This mango salsa recipe adds lots of flavor and color to the meal, but, if you're in a hurry, use ¼ cup store-bought mango chutney instead.

There are several types of quick-cooking brown rice. There's even one that cooks in 90 seconds in the microwave, and it's very good. Use any type and follow the instructions on the box."
