I tried this recipe and the result was almost totally inedible. It was NOT dry, it was boiled into a football. ("Cook slowly" gives no indication of time, and there was not a moment of "fork tender"ness throughout the process.) If I had known how much time to give it, etc., I wouldn't have been looking for a recipe. The baking dish version might have worked better, but I had such a bad experience with the main version that I'm not tempted to waste another expensive buffalo steak finding out.
