This was good, but we were not that excited about the dipping sauce. Maybe just personal taste. Thanks for the recipe.

This was a great addition to a New Years eve party. The suace is a little too vodka flavored, I will probably try it with less next time. All in all everyone loved it

I tried this recipe for a New Years party that I threw - and it was very popular! Very simple - but its easy to over cook the beef - be careful!
