  1. yvonnesteedley REVIEW:

    I found this recipe to be absolutely delicious. I had never added cinnamon to meat before, and I must say that I was impressed. It was sensational. I had all of the ingredients except olives. So, I had to leave them out. The dish was still wonderful. While hard to think it could have been better, I can't wait to try it again with the olives.

  2. Elves REVIEW:

    While this Cinnamon Beef recipe was cooking it made my mouth water. I love the bold sweet flavor. The raisins compliment the spices perfectly. I found the recipe easy to make and I don't consider myself much of a cook. If you don't have couscous I think you could easily put the meat dish on top of noodles or maybe rice. The leftovers are just as good as the main course too!
