Happy Monday my friends. You know, usually I don't care for Mondays, but so far I'm having a great day. I just got a wonderful workout, and despite the rain, I'm in a great mood. How was everyone's weekend? Ours was very nice, and we finally made it out to Whole Foods. Oh my goodness, talk about a foodie's playland! We weren't there for very long on account of my boy not being as excited about roaming up and down every aisle of a grocery store as me, but I got a good idea of what they had, and we'll definitely be going back!
I remember making this dish on a particularly hectic night, and it turned out to be the perfect remedy for all the chaos. It's quick and easy to make and its so rich and warm with a lot of great flavor. It's also a way for someone who is watching their calories (me) to get in a nice fix of steak! And of course those meaty baby bellas don't hurt either!
Steak Tips with Peppered Mushroom Gravy
Cooking Light Jan/Feb 2010
Ingredients
2 cups uncooked egg noodles
1 lb top sirloin steak, cut into 3/4 inch pieces
1 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoons finely chopped shallots
8 oz baby bellas, sliced
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
3 tablespoons all purpose flour
1 1/2 cups beef broth
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 fresh thyme sprigs
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (I used all dried thyme)
Directions
1. Cook noodles according to directions with no salt or fat.
2. While noodles cook, heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add steak; saute 5 minutes, browning on each side. Remove from pan; cover.
3. Melt butter in pan over medium-high heat. Add shallots and mushrooms; saute 4 minutes. Add garlic; saute 30 seconds. Stir in soy sauce. Sprinkle flour over mushroom mixture; cook 1 minute, stirring constantly. Gradually add broth, stirring constantly. Add pepper, salt, and thyme sprigs. Bring to a boil; book 2 minutes, or until thickened. Return beef to pan; cook 1 minute or until thoroughly heated. Discard thyme sprigs. Garnish with thyme leaves, if desired.

Man I have not had that since I was a little kid. My mom used to make it, looks delish! We recently got a whole foods too. If yours had Gelato, give it a whirl, it is decadent!
Wow that is super low cal for so much food! Looks delicious.
I'm glad you enjoyed your trip to whole foods. It's a dangerous place...when I go in there I want to buy everything!
A classic combo that never fails!
Looks delicious!
Steaks tips = deliciousness. Plus mushroom gravy = double deliciousness. Happy monday!!
Well, this looks like a perfect meal for one of those 'I don't like Mondays' days right? I am on lunch hour eating leftover meatballs and mushrooms so a very similar thing indeed!

Ah, WF trip is always a good day! I miss the days when I could just skip down the street to "sample" some goods.
Don't you love Cooking Light? This recipe has so much flavor!
Whole Foods is fun to go to all right- I could spend hours just looking. Better than mall shopping any day!

Beef and gravy over noodles - yum! I'm on my way to your place for dinner. Glad to hear you made it to Whole Foods. So hard to go in there and not spend a fortune.
Looks yummy! I so want to see a Whole Foods.
I'm not a beef person but my kiddos and honey enjoy it. (I'm all about those mushrooms in the gravy!) Think a london broil will work?
