Large frying pan or wok 2 cups Marsala wine 1 lb kabocha or yellow squash – sliced and seeded 2 cups chopped tomatoes ½ cup black peppercorns ½ cup parsley leaves – finely chopped 2 lbs lean beef – sliced French bread 2 bottles Merlot wine Time to make this meal! In a large frying pan or wok over “Medium” heat, combine Marsala wine, kabocha or yellow squash, tomatoes, and black peppercorns. Stir the mixture for about 15 minutes – the squash will slowly start to become tender. Once 15 minutes has passed, add parsley leaves and lean beef to the stir fry. Keep stirring the mixture until the beef is done and no longer raw – the meat should have a slight pink center. Serve this dish immediately with French bread and Merlot wine. Enjoy!!
