Steak Diane

Happy Friday!! Red and I had this on our Wedding night at a B& B in the mtns. of Colorado, and I have LOVED it ever since:

2 (6 oz.) Filet Mignons
1/4 t. sea salt*
1/8 t. freshly ground pepper
3 T. butter
1 t. Dijon
2 T. shallots, minced
1 T. lemon juice
1 &1/2 t. Worcestershire sauce
1 T. fresh garlic chives*, minced
1 t. brandy
1 T. fresh parsley, minced

Season both sides of steak with S&P. Melt 2 T. butter in a heavy skillet; add mustard and shallots. Saute over med. heat 1 min. Add steaks and cook, approximately 3 mins. per side for med. rare. Remove steaks to serving plate and keep warm. Add into pan drippings - 1 T. butter, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, and chives. Cook for 2 mins. Stirring occasionally. Add brandy, and stir through. Pour sauce over steaks. Sprinkle parsley over top. Serve with grilled asparagus with ginger/lime/garlic/butter sauce, and roasted red potato wedges with sea salt and fresh rosemary (thinly shave Parmesan on top before serving.*

A perfect date night meal. Complete it with some warm bread, and a bottle of Merlot. Cheers.

"Light tomorrow with today", and have FUN!!
