Beef Tenderloin With a Port Wine Sauce
A friend of mine who views this blog recently mentioned that I’ve not posted many Greek recipes of late. This is true but although I love Greek cuisine, I’m also drawn to other types of cooking and I’m eager to try new dishes and showcase foods that I personally like (and think you will enjoy […]
Beef and Mushroom Pie
After having much success making turkey pot pie with leftovers I was looking forward to trying a similar recipe for leftover beef. I made a Prime Rib last weekend (I won’t show the result as I had to have it well done for relatives) and I had some leftover roast beef and bones. As tasty […]
