Well I started cooking this - thought this is not going to work but stuck with it as my meat looked like it was going to be tough. However once the liquid evaporated it was good. I used the beef to wrap in Vietnamese rice paper wraps with salads and herbs. Everyone seemed to enjoy it and the flavour was very good. I wonder if you used a higher grade beef if it would be even more tender? Thanks for the recipe - very nice flavour.
