Very easy & delicious. I also added shallots and tomato paste to thicken sauce. Definitely will make this again.

I added 1/4 of heavy cream (for 2 servings) to make it similar to stroganoff and a little basil. It came out splendid and it was super easy!

This was delicious, and I will make it again. I gave 4 stars only because I had to make a couple of alterations, nothing to do with flavor -- added a couple T of flour to thicken the sauce (perhaps tomato paste instead of tomato sauce would accomplish this?); and 1 T. of sugar cuts the acidity of the tomatoes. Also, becuase I used a high quaility beef sirloin, I would brown the chunks and add toward the end of the cooking time to keep them tender, they turned unneccessarily tough in 30 min of cooking. Adding onions in a natural for this good recipe.

This was really great, though my review is based on alterations rather than the original. I sauteed 3 cloves of minced garlic and half a leek in about a tablespoon of butter. Then added sirloin tips and browned them. Added 4 chopped porcini mushrooms (fresh), 1 can of tomato sauce plus filled up the can 1/2 way with water and also poured that in. I added two teaspoons of beef base, oregano, thyme, and a little garlic powder, as well as some salt and pepper. I let it cook for at least 45 minutes in the sauce. It was AMAZING! My husband said it was one of the best things I've made. We ate it with garlic mashed potatoes and steamed broccolini. It's definitely on the regular rotation now!

I thought this tasted pretty good. I ate it with garlic mashed potatoes, which I think made a good compliment. I only had 1/2 the amount of mushrooms, but it didn't seem to be a problem. I didn't expect though this to have such an Italian taste and the color was very red to. I didn't think it had a ton of flavor, though, and I ended up adding more garlic, onion powder, garlic salt, and dried parsley. That really helped.

My husband and I loved this recipe. I actually cooked it on low for about 2 hours and the meat was so tender. I added 1/2 onion to the mushrooms and garlic and sauteed in a pan after I browned the meat. I also added 1 tablespoon brown sugar and alittle thyme and fresh parsley. I didn't have any wine so I just used about 1 cup of beef broth. After my dinner was done I added a few parm shavings for an awesome presentation....Thank you so much for the recipe NOTE...also at the end of cooking time added about 2 Tablespoons of cream cheese and 1 tablespoon of butter,,,,

I made as written (added bellpepper as garnish) except I had one major substitution which is that I used venison tenderloin instead of the beef. To all of you hunters out there, this works very nice with venison too. The only change I will make next time is to use fresh mushrooms instead of the can.

Other than conversion to beef broth/fresh mushrooms (baby bella) for canned suggested by others, stayed with the recipie as is. Served over rice but mashed potato or egg noodles would be great too I'm sure. We're a family of six and I made enough for 8 portions. Gone... This one made the rotation after one shot. Delicious.
