This fantastic marinade, which works well with steaks of swordfish or shark, gets a twist from tarragon! tasted superior to filet mignon!

I really like this. I’m always looking for shelf stable recipes, and this is a good one.

Im at the end of the month budget wise, and food wise, lol. I always have several cans of spam on hand for emergencies, though I have literally never eaten it in my life. I figured this was a good time to give it a try. The pineapples kind of helped me decide. Anyway, to my great surprise it came out really great. I had to use a frozen mix of red and green peppers, but otherwise followed the recipe. My son loved it! I don’t really eat meat..Not for any reason other than I don’t like the texture of most meat, lol. But I do taste it, and this actually was very good. I made broccoli sauteed with butter and garlic, a touch of olive oil on the side. All in all it came out great and was super easy.

It was a very good way to have the spam taste less salty. My Whole family loved it and my picky eater went back for seconds 🙂
