Description
The *must use* ingredient for this contest was a real challenge for me since i am in the apparent minority that does not like the american kitchen staple known as ketchup or (catsup). All at. Not even a little. I had also never used, nor heard of, one of the list ingredients, ponzu lime citrus dressing. However my adventurous spirit took over, and i came up with this delicious, decidedly not gourmet, take on swiss steak. The steak was so tender you could cut it with a fork.
