Steak "tips" Mb Style

Submitted by Melanie B.

"When I was a kid, it was a treat to go to a local steak-house restaurant like Bonanza or Hoss's in Pennsylvania. I always ordered Beef Tips with extra onions, mushrooms, and peppers. Now that I have grown, we do not eat steak often but I have made my version of "Tips" on occasion."
