Beef Sukiyaki

Last weekend we went to a Chinese restaurant. Long story short, I had a bad reaction to the MSG! Wow! It was a really scary reaction; so bad that Chinese does not appeal to me at all anymore. Our girls are sad for me, but were sad for themselves because they know Dad will veto the Chinese restaurant when I am present. Solution: Perfect Daddy- Daughter dates! After I overcome my fear of Chinese food I will make it at home: minus the MSG! This led me to my recipe for Beef Sukiyaki. This is a very quick and easy meal to make.
