Mexican Salsa Steak image

I wanted my steak to have a bit of zip so made up this recipe. I did enjoy it! I used recipe#25977 Fresh Cut Salsa but you may use the Salsa of your choice - It should be fresh salsa though not canned. I made the recipe for 4 steaks but it is very easy to cut it back to one or two steaks - Do not use less than 1 cup of Salsa. The best cheese to use would be an unpasterized Mexican Farmers Cheese, Provencal, Mazzarello, or American Jack. The softer cheeses will be best not cheddar etc.
