Our community is planning a cookbook… So here is one of my favorite recipes, which, hopefully, you (and they) will find enjoyable…
Ingredients:
For Steaks:
Sprinkle of garlic powder
Salt & freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 7-ounce filets mignons (each about 1 ½ to 2 inches thick)
For Sauce:
1 ¼ cups water
1 ½ tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
½ teaspoon tomato paste
2 large garlic cloves, sliced thin
Procedure:
Prepare Steaks:
Preheat oven to 500 degrees.
Sprinkle filets with garlic powder, salt & pepper
In middle of oven, heat a small flameproof baking pan 5 minutes. Add steaks to pan and roast 18 minutes for medium-rare. Transfer steaks to a cutting board, reserving juices in pan, and let stand 5 minutes.
Make Sauce:
While steaks are roasting, in a small saucepan simmer water, Worcestershire sauce, tomato paste, and garlic until garlic is softened and liquid is reduced to about 1/3 cup, about 20 minutes.
Pour garlic mixture into reserved juices in baking pan and deglaze pan over moderate heat, stirring and scraping up any brown bits in pan. Pour deglazed mixture through a fine sieve into a small bowl, pressing and forcing garlic through sieve to mash it, and stir in any beef juices that have accumulated on the cutting board.
Cut each steak crosswise into 8 slices. Spoon some sauce onto each of 4 plates and top with steak.
Serves 4
Bon Appétit!
