These steak strips are a big hit around the Hectic Household. They have a little bit of zip to them from the citrus, but pair well with either rice or potatoes.

In fact, I sometimes think my family thinks they are the only way to eat them. I usually modify the directions a bit, but they're pretty much direct from the box. But I developed this Au Gratin … [Read more...]
