Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    As the author notes, this is a very simple and fast dish that yields big flavors. The quickly seared strips of beef combined with the golden cooked zucchini and the sweet savoriness of the shallots seems just perfect. An easy and satisfying meal to pull together when one is just too tired or rushed to think.
