    1. HMM! It may depend where you live but adding another tablespoon may help or letting it sit longer.

  3. I just came across your recipe & it looks very similar to the one I just “created”, with a few exceptions. I threw in cream of mushroom soup, (love the flavor, can’t tolerate the texture), onions,
    onion soup mix, onion gravy, garlic, thyme, salt, pepper, tomato paste, white wine (didn’t have red), Worcester sauce & plum jam -(found it in the pantry and thought, “Why not?”, lol). Wish I had found your site BEFORE I began cooking it! Have bookmarked & saved! Thanks so much for sharing your recipes! ??

    Recipe was very bland. I added extra garlic, herbs de province, pepper ,salt, etc but still was bland. Will add hearty burgandy wine, carrots and pearl onions next time I make it.

    1. The wine certainly can’t hurt.
      I’m a close follower of the Justin Wilson philosophy that one should “taste” the wine every few minutes to insure it remains of finest quality during the cooking process.
      I recommend having a back up bottle on hand, in case of an emergency.

    2. I’ve cut up onions red ( half of a left over one I used for salsa tonight) and yellow – garlic- carrots – celery- mushrooms – or…first thing In the morning ..heading to my favorite butcher …to buy . A chuck blade steak or two …I can cut it up in bigger chunks and the fat in the steak makes it juicy after cooking for hours….. I’ll post tomorrow night..see what my hubby and do think ..thank you

    1. You can just leave them out for this recipe. If you would like to substitute you can try carrots, onions or bell peppers but it will be a little more crunchy instead of a tender texture.

    1. Stir together onion flakes, beef bouillon granules, onion powder, parsley flakes, celery seed, paprika, and black pepper in a bowl.

    1. No problem. I totally understand. You can use any type of steak that he prefers. Simply cut into chunks.

      1. Whether it’s this recipe, beef stew, chili, stroganoff or other, I tend to cube round steak.

      1. I browned the meat, added the broth, worcechestershire, and onion powder, pressure cookies for 35 mins. Then added the mushrooms and sautéed for 5 mins. Then added cornstarch. It was perfect!

    1. I use raw mushrooms and cut them up. You can use a can of mushrooms but their flavoring and texture is a lot different and usually smaller.

    2. They look to be your standard button mushrooms in the picture, but any mushroom will do for a recipe as simple as beef tips.

  5. I can only assume that the worcheshire sauce goes in with the other ingredients. I added it then…making it tonight so in about 30 minutes I will see if I get a thumbs up from my kiddo or not to make again…

  6. Great recipe. I did leave out the dry onion soup – just way to much sodium for me. But I added more diced onions and 1 tablespoon Mrs. Dash Original Seasoning.. With that change it was fantastic.
