"This is one my families favorites. I have made it up early in the day, upto adding the roasted garlic and the cornstarch mixture. Then just reheat on the stovetop and continued with the recipe at supper time. Prep and cook times are estimates."

Cook and stir over medium-high heat until thickened and bubbly. Cook and stir for 2 minutes more. Serve with noodles or rice.

Made just as directed, using the balsamic vinegar, & the final result was amazing! The beef was tender, well seasoned & highly complimented by both the richness off the balsamic & the fresh roasted garlic. We're looking foward to making it again during the cooler months. We served it over tricolor corkscrew pasta with a side of steamed broccoli, carrots & cauliflower. Thank you for a delicious new recipe, Debilyn! Made & enjoyed for Fall 2009 Pick A Chef. You've been adopted! :) http://www.recipezaar.com/bb/viewtopic.zsp?t=310505&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0

Roasted garlic, Mmmmmmmm. This was soooo good. I thought it enhanced the beef flavor, especially when using a cheaper piece of meat. Really good with some wild rice, mushrooms, and peas. Will definitely do again. Thanks Deb!

Sorry,I guess my husband and I are just spoiled to the old fashioned taste of beef, we didn't really care for this at all. Darlene
