  1. I love cooking beef. We buy half a steer about once a year. Swap out the soy sauce for tamari (gluten free) and I’m all over this recipe!

    1. So I just did a quick google of tamari and it sounds pretty good. I am going to have to look for it at the store. This flavor of the beef is just fantastic and the leftovers are just as good.

      Thanks for stopping by!

  2. My husband is a huge beef fan. He’d adore this recipe with the tamari and onions. I’m always looking for new ways to enjoy beef and this is going on the list!

    1. Hi Charmain,

      Even though the ingredient list for this one is short, it packs some amazing flavors. I am sure he will love it.

    1. Hi Valerie, It really is one of those dishes that is found all over. I have been making them at home only in the past few years. Once you have a fantastic recipe it fast becomes a family favorite.

  3. My uncle has a farm with organic crops and cattle and I love going out there to see the calves (cause all baby animals are super cute). I also love having fresh (Saskatchewan) beef at my disposal! Your beef dip looks fabulous, too. It’s my mom’s favorite dish, so I’ll have to give this a try ?

  4. I had no idea that so much beef was raised in Alberta. (This project has been a great way to learn all sorts of interesting food facts.) Lovely variety of beef recipes features. How to choose?

  5. Finally,
    Here I am… have been by before, but didn’t take the time to comment. Dad loves his beef dip – as do I…. but it is not easy to get a delectable beef jus… you have to roast the bones or cook one roast into leather to get a great jus… and then, there is never enough. How do you solve this problem? Do you have a favourite butcher, farmer, kind of beef/cow?
    ?
    V (I do, I do)
    And my garlic stuffed prime rib would have to be my quintessential at home Sunday dinner to-die-for recipe… but, then there are steaks on the grrrrillll!
