Beef and Mushrooms in Gravy

Submitted by tkclark624

"I was experimenting with some beef cubes that I bought and couldn't make up my mind what to do with - this is what I came up with and both DH and I loved it! I made it with the pasta as stated in the recipe, but you could also serve with potatoes or rice. Hope you enjoy!"

I didn't have the meat tenderizer and the blade steak that I used for this could have used it. The flavor however is wonderful. It has a good richness and depth. DH thought the gravy was outstanding. I would certainly make this again but next be sure to use an already tender cut of meat. I added some chopped chives to the meat mix just before starting the gravy phase and we enjoyed that,
