A hearty beef dish featuring tender beef tips cooked in creamy mushroom and onion soup flavors, perfect for comforting family dinners or entertaining guests.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Whisk together the undiluted cream of mushroom soup and white wine or sherry in a large bowl.
- Add the beef tips and fresh whole mushrooms to the mixture, ensuring everything is well coated.
- Cook the mixture in a 300° to 350°F oven for 3 hours or in a crock-pot on low for 5 to 6 hours.
- Serve over cooked egg noodles.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using a full-bodied red wine instead of white. If you prefer a gluten-free option, substitute the cream of mushroom soup with a gluten-free version or make your own with fresh mushrooms and broth. You can also add some fresh herbs, like thyme or rosemary, to enhance the taste. This dish is quite similar to other beef recipes, like Steak And Veggie Stew.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this dish over cooked egg noodles for a comforting meal. It pairs well with a side of steamed green beans or a fresh garden salad for a balanced dinner. For a heartier option, consider serving it with crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce. This dish is also reminiscent of comforting American recipes that are perfect for gatherings.
Storage & Reheating
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place in a saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally, until warmed through. You can also microwave in short intervals, stirring in between, but be careful not to overheat as it may dry out the beef.
