After that, I let the meat come to room temperature for about 30 min.
Hard to say if that made all the difference or not......but i am going with it.

I made this exactly according to directions, even though I rarely use any packaged mixes or canned soup. I prefer to make everything from scratch. I used the low sodium gravy mix, and also, chopped my own onions, as we could not find frozen ones at our market in Hilo, Hawaii. The finished product was so delicious. My husband couldn't get enough.
Today, I made the recipe again, this time making meatballs. Here I did change things up a bit. I tripled the recipe, as I intend to put the meatballs in vacuum seal bags, freeze them, and then reheat them by putting the bags in boiling water. Rather than using mushrooms, I sauteed onions before adding the brandy, and used 2 C. beef broth & also Lipton's onion-mushroom soup mix dissolved in 2 cups of water. Doubling the gravy recipe was plenty for the 3lbs. of meat. The gravy is like silk. Not using the mushrooms saved $12 in the tripling of this recipe, and they were not missed."},{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"chad g."},"reviewRating":{"@type":"Rating","ratingValue":5,"worstRating":"1","bestRating":"5"},"reviewBody":"The wife says WOW...

The convince of Mushroom soup and the Gravy package brings up the price a bit but well worth it..
If u know how to make gravy out of Bouillon and corn starch u can skip the gravy package.
Love it, its one of the regular dishes for my family!"},{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"vlo429"},"reviewRating":{"@type":"Rating","ratingValue":5,"worstRating":"1","bestRating":"5"},"reviewBody":"My husband and I loved this recipe.
