A little too much liquid. Adding a thickener near the end would be good. Also works really well as a quick in-the-pan meal.

I made the option with mushrooms and green beans and found the BBQ sauce too overpowering so would recommend to use less or substitute for a milder tasting BBQ sauce.

I made the variation with the red wine, and I thought there was too much bbq sauce. I might try it with beef broth and wine, and use a method from another recipe I recently tried to thicken the gravy a bit. The meat was very very tender though and with some tweaking this has lots of potential.

I tried carrots and celery with the original bbq sauce and beef broth.I also marinated the beef in zesty italian dressing.It was delicious and super easy to prepare.The meat was really tender.I found the sauce to be a bit watery though.

I found it a little too watery for the noodles. It was also a little bland. I would try spicy BBQ sauce next time.

Loved the versatility of this recipe. The barbecue sauce made a nice tasting gravy.
