Notes
Cut the beef against the grain so it's as tender as possible. The Kitchn has a great article showing How to Cut Any Meat Across the Grain (the Easy Way!) so check that out if your not familiar with how to do it. Beef chunks or beef strips work, whatever you prefer.
The ingredients for the sauce may seem thick but will thin down from the juice of the meat and mushroom mixture.
Six ounces of mushrooms is about 2 ½ cups.
