The baddest gangsta on film has to be my guy Scarface. Al Pacino is "no joke" in his portrayal of the Cuban Drug Lord and total bad ass Tony Montana, all man and all beef! We drew our inspiration from "Scarface" for our recipe Steak and Onions - Gangsta Style. It's a in your face dish with bold flavors and shamefully satisfying. Like our guilty pleasure "Scarface."
