Beef. It’s What’s For Dinner

The inspiration for our dinner can be found here by Martha Stewart. At times I’ve found her  recipes overly complicated, but at least I know they’ve been tested and are probably delicious. My version is perhaps even simpler than the original recipe.  My mother-in-law gave me a copy of her new All-American  cookbook and the recipes seem to be easy to follow and yummy as well.  I’m looking forward to adding some new meals to our usual repertoire.

I found the recipe here at All Recipes and made very few modifications. Continue reading »
