I think there may be a reason why this recipe was hidden away to way back in 1987. While the meat did come out tender, most of the juice/sauce burnt on the meat and in the pan. There was very little flavor other than the burnt taste. And the sauce gravy was completely flavorless. A huge disappointment for a rather unhealthy recipe. There has to be better ones out there.
