    I make this ALL the time, it is fast, amazingly delicious and harkens back to the french bistro fare that is so indicative of the small town cafes and bistros France is known for. Sometimes I add a little twist by browning the meat in olive oil seasoned with a crushed garlic clove. Just the faint hint of garlic adds yet another element of savory delight that pleases my husband and I! A great recipe for the home cook's repertoire!
