Beef Sirloin Pasta Portobello

[bjcotton]

This is something I made last week when I was looking for a use for the Pecorino Romano cheese. Quite tasty. I used the red bell pepper since the green has a stronger taste.

Sounds good Billy! Thanks! I have sirloin in the freezer I need to use up. Now I just need those mushrooms and I am ready to go!

[firechef]

That does look real good Billy. I think I will have to put this near the top of my to do list of meals to make at home. Copied and ready to roll...

[Gourmet_Mom]

Sounds good Billy! Copied and saved!

[luvnit]

Oh gosh, I am a sucker for mushroom recipes.... I will be making this for sure. Can't help myself. I am drawn like a moth to a flame.

[Gourmet_Mom]

I think I've seen this before, but would someone please refresh me on when to clean the gills on portobellos? I guess I've not registered it before because I could not get them. My nearest "decent" market is doing a "makeover" and I can get them now, any time. I want to start incuding them in our menus now. (Even though YS HATES mushrooms. ) Advice?

[esgunn]

Mostly, they will darken any sauce you make where you leave the gills in. I think I read they can be bitter too - but not sure on that. I always clean them out - just use a spoon and scrape. Just don't have to worry that way.

[Gourmet_Mom]

Thanks Erin! For now, I'll err on the safe side and clean them.

[cjs]

I don't find it bitter to leave in, but they certainly make a darker sauce. and don't look real appetizing.

geez Erin, you were reading my mind (hope it was Erin...) "Sounds good Billy! Thanks! I have sirloin in the freezer I need to use up. Now I just need those mushrooms and I am ready to go!"

Exactly what I was going to say! Does sound so good, Billy.
