This is the best recipe. My fiance would jab someone with a fork if they came near his plate. The flavor, texture and all around taste are perfect. I like that the recipe omits the tomato sauce, which other recipes include.

I have to say I was completely dubious at first, but this turned out REALLY well. I used an even cheaper cut of beef (chuck round)and it was great. In fact, I put the leftovers in a container and 4-5 days later i found them and they were even better...this is certainly a make ahead option. I served it with a quick spanish rice side dish and some fat free sour cream on the side. Thanks for a good one!

I firmly believe everything tastes better when you had nothing to do with the preparation or clean up. I used to have a few favorite cookbooks, but this site has easily replaced them....I love the ease of searching for exactly what I need and the feature of seeing what others have rated the particular recipe. I'm a mother to 2 kids. I stay at home and provide childcare so I can be with them during the day. For fun I enjoy reading, shopping & movies, as well as getting together with friends & family for games & cards. LOVE to travel when the $ is available. BIG into Jimmy Buffett.
