HAWAIIAN BEEF DISH

Hawaiian Beef Dish image

THIS dish has been in my family since I was a little girl, and when presented to guests, brings rave reviews. It was created by my Dad, who still enjoys experimenting in the kitchen. Sometimes I prepare it the day before and warm it up while I'm cooking the rice.
