Can Steak Taste Good Without Salt?

PRLog (Press Release) - Aug 08, 2009 -
In addition to enhancing the flavor of beef, let us take you away to Argentina, where the Chimichurri is a staple relish for the Argentinean asado.
Traditionally the relish is made of fresh herbs, but since fresh herbs might not be at hand and available just when you need to make the famous steak relish, Awaken Savor have created a blend that can very easily be reconstituted to provide you the relish. “We are excited to take our customers into another culinary journey in their own backyard barbeque,” said Alicja Lombard, CEO of Awaken Savor.
To make a relish: Combine 4 tbsp of Chimichurri blend with 1/2 cup of hot water to reconstitute the dry herbs, stir and let stand for 15 minutes. Add 1/2 cup olive oil, 1-2 tbsp apple vinegar, 1 tbsp lemon juice, and 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar. Let the flavors meld for at least 2 hours in refrigerator before serving. Chimichurri improves after a day or two in refrigerator allowing all the spices to have a chance to infuse into one another. The relish can be refrigerated up to a week.
Many retail spice blends available today include substantial amounts of salt and other additives as fillers or flavor “enhancers”.  Instead of making food taste better, these additives interfere with taste and complicate recipes.  Beyond their impact on flavor, many people avoid such additives for health reasons. According to Ms. Lombard, “our spice blends and salad mixes rely on over 100 individual spices to provide multiple layers of flavor that enhance food's natural flavors.”
Awaken Savor, Inc. offers 63 unique spice blends in five lines, including their “Awaken Savor Signature Blends”, “American Blends,” “Five-Spice Blends,” “World Blends,” and “Salad Dressing Blends.”  All spice blends are salt-free, MSG-free, gluten-free, and preservative-free.  Product sizes include a reusable tin of approximately 3½ ounces, as well as pouches in 1 ounce (sampler) and 1 pound (bulk) sizes; 3 ½ ounce pouches are also available to refill tins, reducing packaging consumption.
