Grandma's Secret Tips!

Grandma's Secret Tips!

To turn this recipe into a Greek dish, Grandma sprinkled the steaks with 1/3 cup feta cheese just before serving. She tried many styles of feta. Some were dry and easy to crumble; others were soft and too moist to crumble. When soft feta was all she could obtain, Grandma grated it on the large-holed side of a grater for neatly crumbled cheese.
