DASH. OF. THIS. AND. THAT

BEEF SUKIYAKI

 

I could not in all good conscience leave this recipe off of our website. After all this is the very recipe that convinced my mother I could cook and she opened her arms and turned her “hands off” kitchen into a world of culinary exploration. As for me, I am forever grateful. I first made this in a home economics class in middle school, it is adapted from the Betty Crocker Cookbook. We all enjoy Beef Sukiyaki to this very day.
