Ingredients

  • 1 lb. roast beef, sliced deli style and cut into strips
  • 14 oz. can beef gravy
  • 2 dashes Worcestershire sauce
  • salt to taste
  • 1/3 cup sherry
  • 1 lb. fresh tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 large onion, thinly sliced
  • 6 to 8 oz. fresh mushrooms, sliced
  • 16 oz. can peas and carrots

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, warm the sliced roast beef, separating the slices and draping them around the pan.
  2. Add the beef gravy, Worcestershire sauce, and salt to the skillet.
  3. Cook and stir, blending well and coating the meat as much as possible.
  4. Add the sherry and cook for 1 to 2 minutes.
  5. Add the chopped tomatoes, sliced onion, sliced mushrooms, peas, and carrots to the skillet.
  6. Cover and simmer for about 5 minutes.
  7. Serve hot with garlic bread.

Tips & Substitutions

For a richer flavor, consider adding a splash of balsamic vinegar or a teaspoon of garlic powder. If you don't have sherry, white wine or apple cider vinegar can work as substitutes. To save time, use pre-sliced mushrooms and pre-chopped onions. This dish pairs well with crusty bread to soak up the gravy, similar to how you might enjoy Red Beans 'N Rice.

Serving Suggestions

Serve this hearty skillet beef dish hot, accompanied by crusty garlic bread for dipping. A side salad or steamed vegetables complements the meal well. For a comforting twist, consider pairing it with mashed potatoes or rice, making it a filling dinner option similar to Venison Or Beef Stew.

Storage & Reheating

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, warm in a skillet over medium heat until heated through, adding a splash of water or broth if the dish seems dry. Alternatively, you can microwave in short intervals, stirring frequently.
