My husband loves chopped steak and he is a big fan! It was very tender and had a great taste. Thanks for the recipe ; )

A couple days ago I tried to wing an invention for chopped steak, and failed miserably. Ah, the secret, mince that perforated steak up to as small of bits you have patience for! I tried this recipe because I was intrigued with the idea of lemon and beef. It works. I omitted the parsley and switched the spring onions for a diced thin slice of regular onion, as that was what was on hand. I admit I eyeballed amounts rather than measuring outright. The result was a vast improvement on my previous effort using chopped steak.
