LORUSSO'S - TENDERLOIN MUDEGA (STEAK MODIGA)
My husband and I often go to "the hill" in St. Louis. It is an Italian neighborhood featuring some of the best restaurants and little Italian grocers. For our anniversary we went to LoRusso's Cucina and my DH order Tenderloin Mudega. He LOVED his meal and said it was the best thing he'd ever eaten. To my surprise they posted their recipe online. The cheese used at the restaurant is "provel" but I think that is only found in St. Louis. You can substitute any white, mild cheese you'd like. Here it is for all of us to make at home. I can't wait to surprise him with this one!!!

STEAK MODIGA
Fabulous steak recipe that my father copied from a local Italian place that is an institution in St. Louis. This recipe is rich, but I promise you will love it. Cook time does not include steak cooking, as everyone likes theirs (at least in our family) to varying degrees of doneness. If you live in St. Louis and like provelone cheese, use that here. For the wine, use a fuller one like Chardonnay; Pinot Grisio and Blancos tend to be too light.

TRADITIONAL STEAK MODIGA
This is an absolute favorite. This is served at a local restaurant. I usually double the sauce so we can dip our french bread into it. It is just as good with chicken as the steak. We will often make half chicken and half steak. I would also suggest using a good quality chicken stock. My personal opinion is you really do need to use provel cheese. I have tried substituting and wasn't as happy with the results. Hope you enjoy.

Steps:
- 1. Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 400 degrees. Set wire rack in rimmed baking sheet. Pat steaks dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper; set aside. 2. Melt butter in large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and cook until liquid has evaporated and mushrooms begin to brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Add wine and cook until evaporated, about 3 minutes. 3. Stir in flour and half of garlic and cook until mushrooms are well coated and garlic is fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in broth and cream, scraping up any browned bits. Bring to boil and cook until slightly thickened, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat, cover, and keep warm. 4. Pour 1/4 cup oil into shallow dish. Process panko in food processor until finely ground, about 10 seconds. Combine 3 tablespoons parsley, ground panko, remaining garlic, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and 3/4 teaspoon pepper in second shallow dish. 5. Working with 1 steak at a time, add to oil and turn to coat on all sides. Transfer oiled steak to panko mixture and press firmly to coat only 1 side of steak with mixture. Transfer steak, breaded side up, to prepared wire rack and let sit for 5 minutes. 6. Heat remaining 1 teaspoon oil in 12-inch nonstick skillet over mediumhigh heat until shimmering. Place steaks in skillet, breaded side down, and cook until well browned, about 3 minutes. Flip steaks and continue to cook until well browned on second side, about 3 minutes. Return steaks to wire rack, breaded side up. 7. Roast until meat registers 120 to 125 degrees (for medium-rare), 4 to 7 minutes. Let steaks cool on wire rack for 5 minutes while finishing sauce. 8. Return sauce to simmer over medium heat. Whisk in provolone until melted, about 1 minute. Serve steaks with sauce, sprinkled with remaining 1 tablespoon parsley.
