Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 - 4 beef loin filet steaks.
2 Tbsp flour
1/2 tsp salt
1 dash(es) pepper, equals 1/16 teaspoon, or more if you prefer
3 Tbsp butter, separated
2 c mushrooms, sliced
1/4 c beef broth, reduced sodium
1/4 c brandy

Steps:

1. Put steak between two pieces of wax paper and pound fillets to a thickness of 1 inch.
2. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet.
3. Dredge steaks in flour, salt & pepper mixture.
4. Cook steaks in butter on medium high heat for 2 minutes on each side (fast). Remove from skillet and set aside. Cover with foil to keep warm.
5. In same skillet melt 2 tablespoons butter and add mushrooms.
6. To mushroom and butter mixture add beef broth and cook for 3 to 4 minutes.
7. Pour 1/4 cup of Brandy on mushroom mixture and carefully light with a torch like lighter! Cook until flame dies out.
8. Return steaks to skillet and cover with sauce and mushrooms. Re-warm prior to serving. Serve with pasta or rice! Suggestion: I would double the sauce when making three or four steaks but I would still use only the 1/4 cup of Brandy.
