Notes

I prefer using chuck roast or chuck steak (at least 1 inch thick) for this recipe. Beef stew meat can also be used, but I find that chuck roast gets the most tender.
Add 1 lb of potatoes (red, russet, or Yukon Gold, cut into 1 inch pieces) and/or 1 cup of baby carrots if you'd like! 
Don't have ginger ale? Substitute 1 cup of red wine
One can of sliced mushrooms can be substituted for the fresh mushrooms.
