How to Make Beef And Mushrooms
- Prepare the soup: Use only half the liquid specified on the can or package instructions.
- Set aside the prepared soup.
- Wrap each piece of beef (approx. 1 lb) in a slice of bacon and secure with toothpicks.
- Gently fry the bacon-wrapped beef in 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat until all sides are nicely browned. This seals in the juices.
- Pour the prepared soup over the browned beef. Add 1 lb of sliced mushrooms.
- Stir well to combine the beef, soup, and mushrooms.
- Season generously with salt, pepper, and any other desired herbs or spices (e.g., 1 tsp dried thyme, ½ tsp garlic powder).
- Simmer the beef and mushrooms in the pan, covered, over low heat until the beef is very tender (approximately 45-55 minutes).
- While the beef simmers, prepare creamy mashed potatoes and your favorite vegetables.
- Once the beef is tender, remove the toothpicks and serve the meat with creamy mashed potatoes and vegetables.
- If desired, thicken the remaining cooking liquid with a cornstarch slurry (1 tbsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tbsp cold water) for a richer gravy. Pour the gravy over the meat before serving.
