This dish is a great way to use up leftover beef. The meat is reheated in a flavorful sauce and served over pasta or rice. It's a quick and easy meal that's perfect for a weeknight dinner.

The meat was tender, but the sauce was a bit too acidic for me. I would recommend using less vinegar next time.

I found this recipe to be too bland. I had to add a lot of extra seasoning to make it taste good.
