Beef Bourbon Noodle Bowl

Well it sounded intriguing. I do love soups and all the flavors they provide. This was from Cuisine at Home magazine.

I must say when it calls to marinate the beef in 1/4 cup bourbon and 1/4 cup maple syrup and 2 TBL minced garlic I had reservations. The rest of the ingredients were noodles, sweet potato, spinach and onions.

Well while it looked very nice I just could not get past the maple syrup smell. It was all I could taste. So I've decided that I'm going to marinate the meat next time in a mixture of soy and ginger beer along with the garlic. I did end up adding low sodium soy after serving and that did help.
