Recipe: Beef Peach Pie

The apart­ment com­plex Ariesna and I live in is located directly behind a gro­cery store. The store is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week (except for a cou­ple of hol­i­days). Given it is only about a 5 minute walk to get inside the store; we tend to leave the deci­sion of what to have for din­ner till it is time to make din­ner. The upside is we don’t have to keep a lot of food around the house and we can get fresh meats/fruits/veggies for din­ner. The down­side is we are fre­quen­tally tired after work and just grab some sort of box meal, like Ham­burger Helper, as we don’t always feel up to doing real cook­ing. Tonight, like many nights, nei­ther one of us knew what we wanted for din­ner. I started pok­ing around online look­ing for a recipe to try and found the fol­low­ing recipe AllRecipes.com.

I think Ariesna mostly made this dish to humour me. She hates peaches. But from the moment she pulled it from the oven, I was sure we had a win­ner. The scents com­ing off the pie were mouth­wa­ter­ing. Then I got myself a plate, a fork and took a bite.

Oh. My. Gawd. It was GOOD! The brown sugar mix­ture carmelized over the meat cre­at­ing a heav­enly glaze. And the juices of the peaches soaked through­out the meat, every bite was delectable.

AWelkin, does this dish sound good to you? We’re think­ing about mak­ing it again when you and Bryon come over on Friday.

    I’m sorry. As I men­tioned to Michelle, there’s no way we could get Bryon to eat this. Sweet meat and ketchup are not on his hit parade.

    I might try a bit at some other time, but I have to admit that it sounds a bit Lutheran potluck for my tastes. :) Yeah, I know, this from the woman who eats haggis.

    I did say I would try it.
