Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.

A delicious pairing of beef and mushrooms that isn't hidden under a pretentious sauce

2 teaspoons olive oil
2 (4 ounce size) beef tenderloin medallions
1/4 cup sliced onion
3/4 cup sliced portobello mushrooms
1/2 cup beef broth
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
salt and pepper
Rub oil in a heavy skillet.
Heat to high heat; saute tenderloins, turning once, with onions and mushrooms for 7 minutes, stirring vegetables occasionally. Add broth and thyme; reduce heat and simmer 3 minutes, or until liquid is reduced. Season with salt and pepper.

Love buffalo wings? Get that same hot, zippy flavor in everything from deviled eggs to enchiladas. And of course: wings.
It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).

Wonderfully simple flavors - the taste of the vegetables and beef aren't overpowered by a heavy sauce. If you like your beef less well done, cook the veggies as directed, adding the beef last (before adding the broth). Get a sear on both sides then add the broth when it is three minutes from being done.
