Mesquite-Grilled Beef with Agave-Morita Glaze · El Paso
Premium beef cuts grilled over mesquite wood with a glaze made from agave syrup and morita chile, a smoked-dried jalapen with a fruity smoke character.
Mesquite grilling in El Paso follows the northern Mexican asado tradition. The agave glaze application is contemporary, popularised by Casa Pantera and similar wood-fire restaurants in the 2010s as chefs recontextualised desert ingredients in a fine-dining framework.
