Beef Tips in Mushroom Sauce

I’ve decided every week I am going to try a recipe from either the Weight Watchers website or their Message Board. This week’s recipe comes from the Message Board.

I’m going to put this out there – this is the best beef stew like dish I’ve had in quite a while. The meat is so tender and the gravy is tasty.

We served it with mashed potatoes and I’ll be honest and say when I was putting away the left overs, I may have had a bowl of mashed potatoes with nothing but gravy. Who knew Sprite Zero could do that to gravy?

There are a couple of variations out there – one I want to also try uses red wine in place of the Sprite. Heavenly.
