"After a long day in our greenhouse raising bedding plants for sale, I appreciate coming in to this hearty beef dish for supper," says Sue Gronholz of Beaver Dam, Wisconsin.

This recipe is a family favorite my mom and Dad request it all the time they cant get enough. the only thing I do different is add a can of tomato sauce.great recipe thanks for sharing.

I omitted the salt since soy sauce is salty. I also added one can of beef broth to make it less dry. Stewed tomatoes work well too. Other than that, its perfect! I have this written in my keeper cookbook and have made it many times over the years. Love it!!
