Menu 1
Filet Mignon with Portobello Sauce
Just a splash of Madeira or port wine makes this buttery, meltingly tender steak-and-mushroom dish simply marvelous.
Directions
1. Trim fat from steaks. Rub both sides of steaks with oil and pepper. For a charcoal grill, grill steaks on the rack of an uncovered grill directly over medium coals to desired doneness, turning once halfway through grilling. Allow 8 to 12 minutes for medium-rare (145 degree F) and 12 to 15 minutes for medium (160 degree F). (For a gas grill, preheat grill. Reduce heat to medium. Place steaks on grill rack over heat. Cover and grill as above.)
2. Meanwhile, for sauce, in a large skillet cook and stir mushrooms and onions in hot butter over medium heat about 5 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Stir in broth and Madeira. Bring to boiling. Remove from heat. Thinly slice steaks diagonally and serve with sauce. Makes 4 servings.
