Filet Mignon

Ingredients

6 ounce Filet Mignons (thawed)

3/4 pounds of fresh mushrooms (sliced)

9 tablespoons of butter

2 tablespoons of oil

1 cup of heavy cream

Salt

Pepper

Instructions

Place three tablespoons of butter in a sauce pan over medium heat.  Add mushrooms and saute and stir occasionally for 8 – 10 minutes.

Add flour and stir in warmed cream, reducing heat.  This is a great time to add salt and pepper, as appropriate.In another pan, heat two tablespoons of oil on medium heat.

Add filets for 3 – 4 minutes for each side.  For a more rare cook, remove after 2 1/2 minutes (it’s important to cook your food thoroughly.)  Plate and let sit.

Remove mushrooms and plate, as well.  Feel free to drain sauce from mushrooms over filet, as appropriate.

 

 

Belgian Waffle

1 cups of flour

3/4 cups of milk

1/2 cup of butter (melted)

1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract

Preheat waffle iron.

Combine flour, sugar and baking powder in a large bowl.  In a separate bowl, break eggs and lightly beat the yolks, then add milk, butter and vanilla.  Stir well.  Mix the dry ingredients until combined.  Beat the egg whites until stiff; then fold into batter.

Place batter into the waffle iron (follow the manufacturer’s instructions) until golden brown.

Remove and top with your favorite fresh fruit and syrup.
