Bronzed Bag of Beef
This healthy looking meal in a bag is one of those tasty, loyal, never-let-you-down kind of recipes.
Although the meat and vegetabls are in a bag, the bag doesn't act as a 'sunblock'. The transparency of it allows the meat and vegetables to 'tan' to a perfect shade of dark brown. They say there's nothing quite like a bronze-tanned piece of oiled beef!
