We have made this twice and it was superb both times. Doubling the sauce is recommended as suggested. We used fresh mushrooms instead of the canned ones. We browned the mushrooms in the oil after removing the steaks. We had to remove the mushrooms before continuing, but it was worth the small amount of extra effort. Thanks for posting this recipe! -
We loved this!Will make again.Thanks Linda

<p>I live in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada and was born in Esterhazy Saskatchewan. I am in the Food & Beverage industry and have been for over 22 years. I love to cook, but I would not call myself a "Chef". While I'm not good at creating recipes, I can take a recipe and tweak it or improve on it. I would have to say that I'm a self taught cook as my Mother never had time to really teach me. I would just watch her and figured it out on my own. I have collected 1000's of recipes (lots from here on Zaar) from cookbooks, clippings, pamphlets, you name it. <br />I like to read (favorite author is Jackie Collins), watch movies, trying to figure out how computers work and like to surf the net. Although I can stay in the background for months and not say anything, I'm always here on Zaar. It's a great site to be involved with. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /><img src="http://img256.imageshack.us/img256/8352/saladtl5.gif" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /> <br /> <br /> <br /><img src="http://img301.imageshack.us/img301/7688/salad8dw5ck0.jpg" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /> <br /> <br /><img src="http://img301.imageshack.us/img301/3374/rolls2is3ue8.jpg" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /> <br /> <br /><img src="http://img301.imageshack.us/img301/2480/fork2tp6cl6.jpg" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /> <br /> <br /><img src="http://img253.imageshack.us/img253/1376/lobster6cz0.jpg" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /> <br /> <br /><img src="http://img403.imageshack.us/img403/8659/crabburger1yu0.jpg" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /> <br /> <br /><img src="http://img403.imageshack.us/img403/308/crab1lh8.jpg" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /> <br /> <br /><img src="http://img27.imageshack.us/img27/604/app398896002838932ml0k.gif" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /> <br /> <br /><img src="http://img160.imageshack.us/img160/8537/172478p.jpg" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /> <br /> <br /><img src="http://img27.imageshack.us/img27/8280/149980p.jpg" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /> <br /> <br /><img src="http://img509.imageshack.us/img509/1571/dessert18li2bz8da5ds4.jpg" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /> <br /> <br /><img src="http://img98.imageshack.us/img98/26/chocolates2qi2.jpg" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /> <br /> <br /><img src="http://img217.imageshack.us/img217/2734/foodsoy7.gif" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /> <br /> <br /><img src="http://img217.imageshack.us/img217/9931/sweets1il3.jpg" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /> <br /> <br /><img src="http://img54.imageshack.us/img54/8642/drinks1.jpg" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /> <br /> <br /><img src="http://img398.imageshack.us/img398/7087/drinks2ji0zk3.jpg" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /> <br /> <br /><img src="http://img76.imageshack.us/img76/9346/1858887vvr6dlsowm.jpg" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /> <br /> <br /><img src="http://img141.imageshack.us/img141/3972/8ebmqtttm2.gif" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /><a href="http://easyhitcounters.com/stats.php?site=carmen782" target="_top"><img src="http://beta.easyhitcounters.com/counter/index.php?u=carmen782&s=apple" border="0" alt="Free Web Site Counter" hspace="4" vspace="2" align="middle" /></a></p>
