This recipe is very good. I mixed the garlic in with the butter then spreaded it on the meat and sprinkled the seasonings on. That is the only change I did. I had everything on hand in my kitchen. Oh it was just so very good. Thank You

Very good indeed! The meat came out very tender thanks to the long, slow cooking process. The sauce was very flavorful and complimented the linguini nicely! I cut the chili peppers back to 2 since that was all I had bought (read the recipe wrong!) but they provided just the right amount of heat! Good luck with this recipe in the contest!

This is fantastic- LOVED this - and it sounds harder than it is to prepare- wonderful! Thanks for sharing!

Made this for dinner on Saturday and since it is a contest entry, I did not modify anything from the recipe. The steak was very tender. The crossed cut rolled up steak made good presentation. I also like the freshly chopped Italian parsley in the Liguini, however, next time I would replace the butter with olive oil (personal choice). This recipe made plenty of sauce, I can make another meal out of the leftover. My mom thought the sauce needed to be thicken a bit. Overall, it was a good recipe. Thank you and good luck in the contest.

Delish! The sauce was amazing. B/c of how much sauce it made, next time i would probably add more meat. For day 1, we served it with rice and for day 2 we used the sauce as a delicious marinara sauce. yum! Definately a keeper.
