ingredients

  • ¾ lbs. mushrooms
  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 2 tsp flour
  • 1 cup heavy cream, heated
  • 36 oz. filet mignon steaks
  • 6 slices French bread
  • 6 tbsp butter
  • ½ cup scotch

directions

1. Slice mushrooms and sauté in 3 Tbsp butter. Add flour and salt and peepper to taste. Blend well. Stir in warm cream. Keep well-heated, in a separate skillet, while you sauté the filets in hot butter for 3 minutes per side (for medium-rare). Sauté bread slices in 6 Tbsp butter, turning often to prevent butter from being absorbed. Arrange bread slices in a ring on a well-heated platter.
2. Top with the filets and arrange the mushroom sauce in the center. Stir the Scotch into pan juices, boil up for a minute or two and spoon sauce over the meat. Additional sauce can be passed separately.

Notes

NOTES : Originally from an Omaha Steaks booklet - calls for 6 6 oz filets.
