SC - Suggestions for vegetarian "main" dish needed

[Philippa Alderton]

Sister Mary Endoline asks:

<<I ahve been asked if I knew a recipe so I thought I'd pass the request along
to the group.  Apparently in a role - playing game called Pendragon, cinnamon
beef is Sir Harry's favorite dish.  Does anyone know what dish this might
refer to???>>

This receipt call for grilled beef steak to be covered with cinnamon:

2 pounds lean venison, beef, veal, or pork steaks
1 T wine vinegar
1 T cider vinegar
3 T unsweetened apple juice
1/4 C dry wine
1/4 tsp each black pepper and powdered ginger
Cinnamon to taste

1.  Trim the steaks and cut them into thin strips about three inches long.

2.  Cook the meat through in a heavy frying pan, over medium heat, or in a
broiler, or on a griddle or grill.

3.  In a bowl, combine the two kinds of vinegar, apple juice, wine, pepper and
ginger.  

4.  Place the meat on a serving dish, pour the sauce over it, and sprinkle it
with cinnamon before serving.

Serves four to six.
