Argentine Steak-More Food for Winter

I have no idea why dish this was named Argentine Steak...but once again it came from the tried and true "Triple Tested" Cook Book...A favourite Cookbook from the 60's and 70s for those of us that lived in Wellington and Environs, during that time 
Perfect for a dinner party
Simple, cheap and better still... best prepared the night before
A young Mothers' Dream Party Meal

I have resurrected it for this Winter
Got thumbs up from my guests
