Clarified butter
3 veal kidneys, trimmed of fat, cut into bite size pieces, about 1-inch

1/2 cup beef stock
1 1/2 ounces dried Galco mushrooms, soaked in 1/2 cup cold water for 10 minutes

1/4 cup brandy
1/2 cup white wine
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon English mustard

Steps:

Heat clarified butter in saucepan. Lightly dust kidneys with seasoned flour and fry in hot butter. Turn over as they turn red on outside; set aside to drain.
Heat beef stock in saucepan and reduce by 1/2. Drain mushrooms and add mushroom liquid to beef stock.
In a separate pan, cook pepper and shallots in clarified butter on low heat. Add kidneys and stir, then add mushrooms. Stir in tomato paste, increase heat, add brandy and flame.
