"A sweet and sour sauce highlights the pepperiness of the steak. Any leftovers are also good cold. This sauce also goes well with chicken or turkey."

My husband really liked the flavor, and I liked it ok, just not crazy about it. You don't say in the directions how you use the olive oil so I just added it when I added the last set of ingredients before I cooked it for the last few minutes. Thanks for posting.

I am a 56 year old Gramma that, for the first time in my life, has purchase myself a computer, and I didn't know what i was missing!! I have a husband tha I adore, and 4 grandchildren that of course surpass all others - lol - I am disabled, and am an at home person, so I have a lot of time on my hands, to play with my recipes, and I am enjoying every bit of it - My husband will eat anything that I cook, so I have carte blanche as far as that goes, so I have a great time trying out new recipes. Paula Deen has published some of my favorite cookbooks, her recipes are easy and quick to do. Her sweets are fantastics, especially her pound cakes, Yummm I guess the dish that I am famous for is my Christmas ham - my family all comes home for Christmas, and if i don't have my ham they are dissapointed, and my grandson wants the pistachio squares!!! so I guess that is the dishes that I'm famous for.
