If you have leftover beef, this is a great way to use it up in a special way. Sometimes when we have leftovers we don't get very creative, which makes us a bit "leftover weary." I like to cook big meals on purpose so we have leftovers; it's more economical that way. But, finding tasty ways to recreate the leftovers is a trick.
This is one recipe that works well because it's so surprising. Mixing beef with fruit is a real unique move. The flavor of the tarragon vinegar is also a great contrast that works very nicely.
If you use cling peaches you'll have better luck keeping the wedges from falling apart during the cooking. Cling peaches are a bit more sturdy than the juicy eating kind. If you can't get fresh peaches, use frozen. Just let them thaw out a bit before adding to your skillet. Only cook the dish for a few minutes after adding the fruit so you have a bit of crunch left in the apples.
Also, if you can get your hands on wild rice, make a mix of brown and wild rice for the side dish. The nutty flavor of the wild rice is very good with fruit.
