Taste was good, but I could not get the flour/water mixtures to blend into the mushrooms/wine properly. I kep getting flour lumps that wouldn't break up....they created little dumplings! I'll try using cornstarch in leiu of the the flour mixture next time, because the taste was great!

Made this for a small piece of veal sirloin I had. I think it's important to mention that this sirloin was raised in a pasture and also organic, raised on a farm 30 miles from my house. I definitely think this had something to do with how good this recipe was. First, I had the meat warm to room temperature. Next, I started cooking my mushrooms in the olive oil for just a short time before I added the beef base (I didn't have beef broth). I only used 1 cup of beef base with the mushrooms and then threw in a pinch of onion and garlic powder. I also used some corn starch to thicken up the sauce. I pretty much cooked the sirloin the same way, but had to adjust the cooking time. I put it in the oven for 3 minutes, then flipped it for another 3. It was perfectly tender...almost like it melted in your mouth! I also served this with a white sweet potato and kale sauteed with fresh garlic and a baked Braeburn apple as dessert. Yum!

I think this needed a little more flavor. Could be maybe a little more wine or a better beef broth on my end. Still, very easy and definitely brought a little something extra than A-1. I think next time I may try to thicken it up just a little bit.

This recipe is wonderful and simple. Like most of the other reviews I used a tsp of corn starch to thicken but not very much. My adjustments to the recipe were: added thinly sliced onions with the mushrooms; just beef broth and a little Worcestershire. My son and I are trying to eat healthier so served with steamed green beans and baked sweet potatoes.

Very good. The sauce was a little runny, but still delicious. My sirlion was done to perfection! Thanks so much for sharing your recipe!

This dish was very easy and fast to prepare and was really good. The boyfriend loved it! I didn't have beef broth or red wine so I used Lipton's Onion Soup mix and some random other ingredients and it turned out great!

Everything was fine, but my sirloin steak was very chewy...wondering if I should use a differnt kind? My husband and I are on a sodium restricted diet so I used water, wine and low-salt worcheshire sauce. Came out great. Now if I can just get the steak rightt. :o)

I think I must have overcooked the meat because it was really tough, sauce was great though

Very good sauce. Used a whole package of mushrooms, beef broth and Chianti wine. Added a very little amount of starch per other reviews but I don't think it helped as much as just letting the sauce reduce. I chose not to cook the mushrooms prior to adding the other two ingredients but let them all work together at once it turned out great. Will probably try this with other cuts of beef
