Steak Tips with Peppered Mushroom Sauce

We are still working through a freezer full of beef, so this was a perfect recipe for us. It looks like a long list of ingredients but if you prep and measure everything out first, you’ll move along really quickly through the meal. This has a really great flavor to it. Cancy & I both really enjoyed it.
