About


A marinade flavored with apple juice brings the meat in this dish a subtle sweetness that holds its own amidst more overt flavor elements like savory tomato and fresh green onion. Fresh black peppercorns touch the finished meal with faint heat. This easy-to-prepare meat entrée pairs well with sides like yellow rice, grilled peppers, fresh pita bread with hummus, and more.
