Come on in my Kitchen, ‘Cause….
This tune was playing as I wondered about dinner. Can you sing the next line?
Ft Forth Cheese Steak Sandwich

Roast of Beef (leftovers) ½ #, trimmed of fat & sliced very thin
Vegetable Oil 2 TBS
Onion 1, Medium sized, Thin sliced rounds
Garlic toes 2 Chopped fine
All purpose flour 1 TBS
Tomato paste 1 TBS
Good brand dark beer 1 Cup
Beef stock ½ Cups
Kitchen Bouquet 1 tsp
Cherry tomatoes 10 quartered
Refried beans 2 TBS

Chipotle pepper in Adobo 1 (or 2-seeded or not), chopped fine

Add other TBS oil, & add flour, stir into a paste, cook for 3 minutes stirring & add garlic.
Add tomato paste, seasonings, beer & stock. When fully mixed, bring to a simmer. Add Kitchen Bouquet. Stir mixture, replace onions, & add the beef. One should have a dark, rich gravy bubbling with beef simmering.
At this point, add enough of the refried beans to thicken gravey. Adjust salt.

Place all that in a soft flour tortilla to make a Burrito with sauce inside, placing green onions, tomatoes on top mixed with cilantro, lime squeeze, & chopped jalapeño.
