- The beef remained tough.
- Beef needs more time than pork. If it doesn't tenderize in the skillet, add a little water and simmer covered.
Baked Beef & Mustard Crepe Casserole
A robust cousin of the famous Hortobágyi crepe, this dish features bolder flavors. The vinegar in the mustard not only flavors but also helps tenderize the beef fibers, providing a piquant counterpoint to the rich sour cream. The deep umami of beef calls for strong seasoning.
