REVIEW: Tropical Spices – Pacific Burn Hot Sauce
This is our 3rd review for Tropical Spices. The good people behind Tropical Spices wanted us to do 2 of their sauces with a set of 3 reviewers and 1 other sauce with another set of 3. The first one was for their hottest product, Flamin’ Phantom hot sauce which you can see HERE. Next we did their Calypso Sauce which got pretty high marks from 2 of our reviewers and you can see that HERE. Now we have their Pacific Burn hot sauce which uses Thai chiles to capture a sauce made for some Asian cuisine. Our reviewers for this review are Mike & Jen, Derrick Wood & Xero.

Savory Asian Beef
Preparation Time: 1/2 hour Serving Size: 2 – 4 people
Ingredients
1 teaspoon
Pacific Burn
1 lb boneless Sirloin Steak, cut in strips
1 medium Onion, chopped
1 teaspoon Hoisin Sauce
1 teaspoon Sesame Oil
1/2 teaspoon Garlic, minced
1/3 teaspoon Ginger – ground
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1/4 teaspoon Sugar
Salt & Pepper to taste
Directions:
In a large storage bag put all ingredients to create a marinade. Add beef strips. Close tight and refrigerate for 1 hour, turning several times, so all the beef strips get equal marinade. Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Cook beef strips for about a minute each side. Serve with a Veggie Skillet (recipe under Verde Sauce)

So this sauce got reviews all over the board, huh? I stick with my rating. I would like to have seen the first taste on video from the other reviewers. I love that unrehearsed, honest initial reaction.
I am in agreeance with Xero about one thing, the taste was confusing. Though, I thought that was a positive personally. I mean, as you heard in my video, it even had me thinking about olives for some reason. Bizarre. Anyhow, thanks to everyone at Tropical Spices LLC!
The initial flavor started off fine, but after a few seconds, I was wondering where the vinegar was. I still cant belive I was thinking that. Maybe all this vinegar sauce is changing my taste buds. I liked everything else about the sauce and I think it would be great with a little vinegar bite.
