This is the second recipe I had tagged for a game I play on Zaar. It was a very good recipe that was easy to prepare and the end result was delicious. I did use a 500g piece of beef fillet instead of the rib eye or sirloin suggested, as I loved this tender cut of meat and it was on special at the store so I could not resist. Both this and the cat fish recipe were by the same chef and both were truly wonderful recipes so I would recommend you trying them both. I am going to get round to posting some more of my own recipes over the next few days as I have few in back log now. To read more reviews on this recipe or to view more photos please click here. This chef has some really great recipes posted so be sure to check out more whilst you are there.

This is a super simple recipe that has a wonderful end result. We really enjoy this one in our family and I love it because it takes me no time in the kitchen to prepare. I serve it over couscous with some sliced red pepper and snow peas for a healthy light meal.
