This was really easy to throw together! Tagged this in zaartag and decided to make it for a special dinner this weekend for dh. Knew that dh would want more on his than just the beef and snow peas, so I added onions and mushrooms. Also cooked it in the oven at 400 for about 10 min due to the weather. The snow peas were still a bit crunchy, but everything else was great. We will have this again soon. Thanks for sharing!
