Michelle, you won my boyfriends heart (and stomach) with this recipe. So easy to make! The flavors are intense but not overpowering. I served it with egg noodles, buttered and sprinkled with garlic powder and cinnamon roasted carrots. It was an outstanding meal that I will cook over and over! Thanks sooo much!

Husband rated it "as nothing special", but he ate all of it...that makes it at least a 3 for me! He said it had good flavor but the steak was a little tough. I might try it again with ground beef patties for a more tender meat.

Wonderful, fast, cheap meal. I tripled the sauce and before adding the sauce ingredients to the pan I added 1/2 T of flour and let that cook in the drippings for a minute or so. It didn't really thicken up much but was very tasty and pleasant. Used bottled lemon juice and it's a low quality fake lemon so I bet it is way much better with fresh lemon juice. Will make this again.
