+ make spätzle or other pasta; reserve the water
+ cook some pert little mushrooms (e.g. baby bella), halved, in a little oil on low-medium heat until they start to exude their juicefluids, then add sherry & about 1 tablespoon honey & reduce.. if liquid runs low add more sherry and/or red wine
+ at the same time, cook some beef & cube it & set aside, OR, better, cook to almost-done, then cube and throw in with the mushrooms when they’re about halfway done
+ sauce option: combine pan juices of beef and mushrooms with a little pasta water & simmer till desired
+ pile everything together, add pepper, salt to taste, cheese if desired
