Marinade/Prep

  • Wash mushroom slices and set aside
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees

        Meat

  • Add oil and butter/margarine to large skillet over medium heat
  • Drain liquid off of beef tips
  • Brown beef tips in oil and butter, while generously seasoning with Cavender's Greek Seasoning (can add salt & pepper, as desired)
  • Reserve drippings in the pan, but remove beef tips from skillet and set aside in another baking dish (vegetables & sauce to be added later)

        Vegetable/Broth Mixture

  • Saute onions and garlic in meat drippings (season w/ Cavender's, salt & pepper, as desired)
  • Add mushrooms to pan and continue sautéing (season w/ Cavender's, salt & pepper, as desired)

  • In a separate dish or cup, mix cornstarch with cold water
  • Add cornstarch mixture to vegetable/wine mixture in skillet
  • Heat chicken broth/bouillon and add to skillet with vegetable/wine mixture

  • Stir in tomato paste until completely dissolved and incorporated
  • Pour vegetable/wine mixture over beef tips in baking dish

        Pasta

  • Bring water to a boil in a large stockpot, to which 2-3 Tablespoons of salt and olive oil have been added
  • Add bow tie pasta and boil according to package directions
  • Drain water from pasta
  • Add a Tablespoon or two of olive oil, butter or margarine to the bow tie pasta, to prevent it from sticking
