Reviews
Sounded like it might have been good. But turned out to be a waste of expensive meat. Not a fan of this one.
Watch this carefully. The cocoa mix caught fire with the broiler on high so turned it down to low broiler.Tried it with venison Turned out fine, interesting taste but was not a family hit.
