Bistecca con chimichurri.

Bistecca con chimichurri at Rincon Tropical

6538 Michigan Ave., Detroit; 313-334-8526

Rincon Tropical's bistecca con chimichurri is a sheet-thin strip of slightly fatty, chewy, griddle-charred skirt steak that's salty and acidic from adobo and sofrito. The steak is served next to a mound of rice with gandules and more acidic punch from green olives. Cover that in Rincon's chimichurri, which is composed of vinegar, parsley, oregano, garlic, salt, pepper, and more, and rack your brain to think of a better plate in Detroit. As a bonus, it's served in a Puerto Rican nightclub. —Tom Perkins
