Notes

When cooking for two, we do this in a 10 inch Dutch oven. When cooking for four, we do it in a 12 inch Dutch oven.

Bruce has discovered a way to make this recipe even easier than it already is. When he cooks it, he coats the steak in lemonade mix (the powdered kind) and skips the fresh lemons. I have started splitting the difference and using one fresh lemon and some lemonade mix. Be sure to use lemonade mix that already has sugar, or you will get an unusual taste.

You can also use canned salsa instead of steak sauce for a different taste .
