A truly tasty meal. The sauce had plenty of mushrooms and flavour. I served this with thinly sliced potatoes which I steamed and then baked briefly in a hot oven to brown and broccoli.

Oh, this was wonderful! I have eaten similar dishes in fancy restaurants, and I have to say I think this was better!! The meat was extremely tender and juicy and my husband kept commenting on it as he inhaled it. This will be used again and soon.
Edited five years later to add that I still cook this recipe at least every couple of months, but use swiss mushrooms instead of button and add a little more white wine and lemon than is quoted.
This is a keeper.
Thanks Lennie!

This recipe sounded divine but I found it was a little bland. I added some tarragon but it still lacked something. It tasted better the next morning as leftovers.
