EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Flatten the cubed steaks by placing them between sheets of plastic wrap or waxed paper and pounding with the flat side of a meat mallet or a rolling pin. Don't have a meat mallet or rolling pin? Press the heel of your hand over the top of the steak until it is evenly flattened.

Traditional pesto is a mixture of basil, garlic, olive oil and pine nuts. Today, however, this popular sauce can be made from other herbs and vegetables instead of basil. There is sun-dried tomato, roasted bell pepper and spinach pesto, just to mention a few, so use whichever pesto you like.

To add crunch and bright red color to this dish, add a chopped small red bell pepper to the sauce when you stir in the cornstarch mixture.

I have made a number of recipes from the Betty Crocker website with great results. I have to say that out of the dozens of recipes I've made, this was one of the absolute worst I've fed to my family. The flavor is terrible. The only redeeming value is the gravy, and even that can't make up for a flavor that is reminiscent of the way dog food smells.
