I've tried many recipes, but once I found this one I never looked any further - this one is the keeper! I love the flavor and the simplicity. This is one of my family's favorite meals. The only thing I do differently is to use chuck instead of leaner meat, so of course you will have less grease and fat if you go with the sirloin. I always double the recipe because this is so good leftover as well.
