I love this recipe! I added a few more spices just because my palate told me to. No reason to give less than five stars though. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!
You are very welcome Wayne, I am so happy to hear that you enjoyed it. Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback!
Love this…so simple and healthy. Very quick too! I usually eat lunch at home so this is perfect for meal prep. I did the beef tips in the air fryer which worked well.
That’s fantastic Anne, glad to hear it!
