Wonderful recipe! The wine is key, I think, in making this not taste like pasta sauce on beef. I did mine in the crockpot (with no precooking) and it tasted wonderful. Served over a garlic mashed cauliflower/potato combo with steamed green beans on the side.

Made this in a big hurry one night. The wife and I were truly surprised at how good it was! We didn't use store bought pasta sauce though ...rather made our own batch using tomato sauce and spices. Will definitely make this again!

This is awesome when served on top garlic mashed potatoes; I wouldn't have it any other way! I've never had this turn out tasting like spaghetti sauce, and always use Ragu Chunky with Mushrooms. Sometimes I add mushrooms too, after the onions start to caramelize. If you find this tasting like spaghetti sauce, as some reviewers have experienced, try adding in a beef bullion cube as it simmers... also stay away from basil-rich sauces!

I was very pleased with this recipe. I could not tell that I had made it with spaghetti sauce at all! It was very tangy and flavorful. I tried to use one of my better wines because I was using store bought sauce but I think it would have been good regardless. I too made garlic mashed potatoes and it was awesome. My husband devoured it. It was VERY simple and quick to make too. No doubt that this will be a frequent dinner at my house.

Pretty good - I had leftover steak so I used it instead of uncooked. Someone suggested caramelizing the onions so I did and that was yummy. I liked the red wine too - added some depth.

tried it and it was good. it didn't taste like spaghetti sauce with steak in it the way i made it. I sauteed the onions for much longer, pretty much caramelizing them before throwing in garlic, and then the meat. then i used a regular marinara sauce and about a cup of red wine. i served it over rotini or bowtie pasta instead of mashed potatoes or spaghetti and it was pretty good

Very good! Browned the beef in two batches to help it along. Instead of "pasta sauce", used a large can of crushed tomatos and jazzed it up with some herbs. We had it over pasta and now want to try it over the potatos (sounds really good). HEARTY.

Deliciously different! I do agree that it takes like steak in spaghetti sauce to an extent, but we liked that. This isn't something that I would serve to company, however, as it is something rather different. My teenagers didn't like this but hubby and I did. Thanks.

Horrible! I made this for my roommates and our respective boyfriends last night and we all hated it. The steak is cooked for way too long and sauce was just not appealing. I served it with garlic mashed potatoes and that was the only thing that people went for seconds for. Try this recipes before you serve it to anyone else.

There is a restaurant by my house called Sevilla Spain. The only reason why I go there is for the beef medallions.... This recipe was so similar to that of the restaurant...I will never have to go there again! I used DelMonte Tomato & Basil sauce and followed the recipe exactly, except I seasoned the meat with garlic powder before sauteing. The meat was a little overcooked for our liking, but that is easily adjusted. The biggest problem we have encountered is what to do with the leftover sauce. Thank you so much for my new favorite dinner!

Served this with the garlic mashed potatoes from this site. I thought it was pretty good, but will probably not make again.

This was a really delicious, easy meal to make-the whole family enjoyed it. I served it with garlic mashed potatoes, which I found doesn't really do it justice-will probably use pasta next time I make this. Great recipe, though!

I didn't have any red wine to add, and I'm not sure how much that affected the recipe. Regardless, it turned out pretty tasty. I will be making this dish again in the future.

This was okay, nothing to rave about, but nothing to complain about either. Hubby and I liked it but my children were not too jazzed about it. I served it over Cowboy Mashed Potatoes from this site (which we all loved) and roasted buttercup squash. I probably won't be making this one again.

My husband and I tried this recipe out for a dinner party. We ran out of time in our preparation and weren't able to have it with the garlic mashed potatoes as planned. To be honest, we were not that impressed. It tasted like spaghetti with sirloin instead of meatballs. Probably won't make this again.

I personally couldn't get enough of this dish! My husband was okay with it. I had leftover red wine, pasta sauce and some tomatoes from my garden that I used to make the sauce "chunky". It was perfect with Garlic Mashed Potatoes. This recipe came at just the right time!
