I cooked that then plated it. I used a vidalia onion (about 3/4 cup), portabella mushrooms and sauteed them in little garlic. I also added 1 Tbsp. of Worchestershire for a flavor boost.

I sauted the beef as stated in the recipe, but instead of removing it from the pan then returning it at the end, I simply left it in and just added the other ingredients to the beef.

One inch cubes will brown quickly over medium..." See more high heat. If you over cook the meat it will loose tenderness. The flavor was wonderful! My husband loved it too. Thanks for the recipe - I'll make it again and again!"
