Anything tastes good with black bean sauce and onions... some Golden Mountain Sauce, diced ginger and garlic, and maybe a touch of sugar.
If you want it spicy, throw in a little Sriracha hot chile sauce.
Serve with hot tea and gummy rice.
just wait til they make us all vegetarians....the vegetarians won’t have any food because we’ll be hogging it all...
My mother calls that Bavarian style. It's also good with real Polish sausages.
Have to agree with you there. I’ve never had a cut of Ranchers Reserve that wasn’t excellent. That’s why I try to hit it up a couple times a week, if finances allow. When I found that little section, I was ECSTATIC, cause I hadn’t bought any beef for a while. My hubby was quite happy too! I’ve been using ground turkey for so long my kids would think taco’s made with beef taste funny!
Oh man...yer killin me! Gonna have to do it now, be damned to the 3 a.m. killing. I don’t have a job to go to anyway....
