I put this in my online recipe box months ago but never made it. This week when I was searching for recipes, I needed a red meat meal in the mix, so I decided we’d try it out. I read through the reviews and one of them mentioned serving it over garlic mashed potatoes, which I thought sounded really good. Plus, it seemed like a nice alternative to pasta.
The basic idea is to saute some onions in olive oil, add some strips of steak and cook thoroughly. Drain. Add 2 cups (it was close enough to a whole jar, so I just added the whole thing) of spaghetti sauce, 1/2 cup of red wine and 2 cloves of garlic. Let it simmer for about 15 minutes.
For the mashed potatoes, I peeled and boiled 3 large potatoes. I added about 1/4 of an onion and 2 cloves of garlic to the pot while it boiled. When tender, I whipped them up with a few tablespoons of butter, some milk, about 1/2 cup of sour cream and maybe 1/4 cup of cream cheese – whatever I had left in the fridge! Threw in some salt and papper and mashed the onions and garlic right in with them. Super tasty, and they tasted great with the sirloin marinara on top! We had some roasted broccoli on the side and it turned out to be a great meal.
