PERFECT TENDERLOIN STEAK / FILETS WITH MUSHROOMS
This is almost a RELIGIOUS experience to eat. One of the few great things about traveling for a profession, is the ability to pursue the quest for "The Perfect Steak." NY steaks are too complicated and "vertical," Chicago can be bland, California adds overwhelming spices. Best so far has been found at "Marysville House"- the one remaining establishment in a ghost mining town about 30 miles outside of Helena, MT*. Have been trying to recreate it for years. Find an outstanding butcher - NOT at your grocery store. Pick the most marbled, aged filets. *Post-scripts: My friend from Helena just told me that Marysville House sold, and isn't nearly as good any more 8**(. For an extra decadence, top with a compound butter made from butter, Gorgonzola cheese, garlic, and basil. THIS should be illegal 8).

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Roast an entire head of garlic by cutting off top, placing in a small Pyrex baking ramekin. Coat top with EVOO, salt, & pepper.
- Bake until the cloves are soft and golden, about 1 hour.
- Remove from the oven and let sit until cool enough to handle.
- Squeeze each head of garlic to expel the cloves into a bowl.
- SAVE THE OIL and add ½ tablespoon of butter. Set on counter to hold.
- Increase oven temperature to 400°F.
- Meanwhile, bring steaks to room temperature and sauté mushrooms.
- To sauté mushrooms, melt butter and EVOO in a large conventional (not non-stick) sauté pan over medium to med-high heat. After butter foaming stops, add mushrooms, and cook until they are nicely caramelized on both sides. Do not salt & pepper until they are browned, or they will release too much liquid, and take forever to brown. Once browned, add the salt, pepper, Worcestershire sauce, brandy, beef broth, and roasted garlic. Reduce so that sauce is concentrated, and about ¼ original volume. Reduce to simmer to keep warm. Make an empty space in center of pan, to receive the steaks.
- Rub steaks with olive oil, and liberally season with salt and freshly ground coarse black pepper.
- Preheat grill (outdoor or indoor) to med-high for at least 5 minutes, with lid closed.
- Sear the steaks for 2 minutes on each side, then place them in the pan, surrounded by mushrooms.
- Pour the garlic-infused oil with butter, from roasting the garlic, over each steak.
- Immediately place in the oven for 6½ to 7 minutes for medium rare.
- Remove from oven, cover with foil, and rest for 5 minutes, for juices to settle in meat.
- Serve steaks, smothered in mushrooms.

Steps:
- Sprinkle the meat on both sides with salt and pepper. Set aside.
- Cut mushrooms into thin slices. There should be about 3 cups.
- Heat the oil in a heavy skillet large enough to hold the slices of meat comfortably without crowding. Add the filets and cook until well browned on one side, about 5 minutes. Turn and continue cooking about 15 minutes or slightly longer. Turn the slices every 5 minutes as they cook.
- Remove the filets to a warm serving platter. Add 1 tablespoon of the butter to the skillet and when it melts add the mushrooms. Cook, stirring, until mushrooms are wilted. Add the shallots and stir.
- Cook briefly, stirring and pour in the wine.
- Blend the beef broth with the tomato paste and add the mixture to the skillet. Add any liquid that has accumulated around the pieces of meat.
- Cook over moderately high heat about 5 minutes or until the mixture has acquired a saucelike consistency. There should be about 1 cup of sauce or slightly more. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Swirl in the remaining butter and serve the sauce with the meat.

BACON-WRAPPED BEEF TENDERLOIN WITH MADEIRA
I found this dish in a Southern Living Christmas cookbook and made it for my husband's birthday dinner a couple of years ago. Since then, it has become one of our favorite holiday dishes--eaten for both Thanksgiving and Christmas! This past year, we invited our neighbors over to celebrate Christmas with us and this was what we had, served alongside balsamic green beans, a potato gratin, and some lovely wheat rolls. It is not as time consuming as a first glance at the instructions make it appear to be. Part of the prep can be done ahead of time and making the sauce is easy and goes fairly fast. And, the gentleman at our local wine store said that a dry cooking sherry can work as a suitable substitute for the madeira wine, which can run a little on the pricey side.
