It is a cool autumn Monday evening and Mijo and I were both very hungry and tired. We had left over meat from the other night so Mijo concocted another one of his spontaneous recipes. Voila - sweet and Sour marinated peppered beef. Super delicioso! What took 20 minutes to prepare only took 5 minutes to eat.
We also opened a Napa Valley 2008 Merlot by Stag's Leap. Here are my notes.
