  1. This recipe is very good. I mixed the garlic in with the butter then spreaded it on the meat and sprinkled the seasonings on. That is the only change I did. I had everything on hand in my kitchen. Oh it was just so very good. Thank You
     
  2. Very good indeed! The meat came out very tender thanks to the long, slow cooking process. The sauce was very flavorful and complimented the linguini nicely! I cut the chili peppers back to 2 since that was all I had bought (read the recipe wrong!) but they provided just the right amount of heat! Good luck with this recipe in the contest!
     
  3. This is fantastic- LOVED this - and it sounds harder than it is to prepare- wonderful! Thanks for sharing!
     
  4. Made this for dinner on Saturday and since it is a contest entry, I did not modify anything from the recipe. The steak was very tender. The crossed cut rolled up steak made good presentation. I also like the freshly chopped Italian parsley in the Liguini, however, next time I would replace the butter with olive oil (personal choice). This recipe made plenty of sauce, I can make another meal out of the leftover. My mom thought the sauce needed to be thicken a bit. Overall, it was a good recipe. Thank you and good luck in the contest.
     
  5. Delish! The sauce was amazing. B/c of how much sauce it made, next time i would probably add more meat. For day 1, we served it with rice and for day 2 we used the sauce as a delicious marinara sauce. yum! Definately a keeper.

  1. I made my picky family version of this last week and when I got home from work it was GONE! I used italian season blend, rubbed oil and seared the meat. Threw it in crock pot rolled up and put everything but the mushrooms. I added hot pepper flakes instead of peppers. I was skeptical that they would even try it because they are not fans of "RED" sauces but my husband said it was a winner!! Thanks for posting an easy and different slow cooker recipe!!

On January 10 2010 I will celebrate 9 years of Life with Zaar. I can't imagine being without it! It has become part of my daily routine. I feel very privileged to be one of the hosts on the Photo Forum. Taking photos of my culinary efforts is a full time hobby and I love it. My friends all know what to expect when they come to dinner "Are you finished taking pictures?" or "Did you get a photo of so & so?" I never let them wait too long and the food is NEVER cold! I now have over 6000 photos on Zaar - some fairly good and some definitely not so good. I am happy to say that practice does help. My roots are in Vancouver BC Canada - a very beautiful city that holds many wonderful memories for me. In 1990, I decided that for my retirement years I may want to settle in a smaller community and found a slice of heaven in the North Okanagan B.C. I love living here but every once in a while I miss the bright city lights, the Broadway shows and some of the small wonderful ethnic restaurants that Vancouver abounds in. That is easily resolved. I just take a trip to the coast, visit with friends for a weekend see a show and feast on Dim Sum or other specialty foods. I am getting a bit long in the tooth but was a very adventurous person. I have river rafted Hell's Gate on the Fraser river, been up in a glider over Hawaii (no not a Hang Glider!), gone hot air ballooning in the Napa Valley & the Fraser Valley, driven dune buggies on the dunes in Oregon, Para sailing in Mexico and tried many other adventurous, challenging, fun things. I have yet to try bungee jumping or sky diving. I may do them yet. I love to travel and experience other cultures. Mexco has been a favorite haunt. I have visited that lovely country many many times. Australia is another favorite as is England! In the past 16 months I have taken off 61 pounds and feel wonderful. I am off all medications and all systems are GO! In years I may be 79 but in spirit I am still in my forties. We are only as old as we allow ourselves to feel. Always think positive. Do something a bit challenging every day & always do something silly every day. Be a kid again! Laugh every day - it is internal jogging.
