This recipe is from "The South Beach Diet Quick & Easy Cookbook." I was glad to see someone saved me the trouble of entering the recipe. I loved this, and so did my husband. I did notice that the meat got tastier after it sat awhile in the sauce, so next time I'll let it sit a little before serving. - 11/27/10
