When I discovered my wheat flour was full of bugs, I tried making Mike some rye pancakes. I got the recipe from Mr. Breakfast, which is otherwise a great website. However, whether operator error or the fault of the recipe, my rye pancakes had a hockey-puck quality that filled the stomach and not much else.
BUT, I found 2 amazing recipes on the Olive Garden web site. The tomato soup is quick, cheap and delicious. The beef recipe is a little pricey (for me the beef was $12, but that's still a lot cheaper than going out to eat at a nice restaurant) but we couldn't stop groaning with pleasure as we ate it. So here you are:
Beef Filets in Balsamic Sauce
Prep Time: 30 minutes
Cook Time: 45 minutes
Serving Size: 4 8 12
Ingredients
4 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
4 Tbsp butter
1 yellow onion, medium and sliced thin
Salt to taste
Black pepper to taste
1/2 cup dry white wine
3 fresh rosemary sprigs, finely chopped (I didn't have any and used dried.)
1/2 cup Marsala wine
1/2 cup beef broth
2 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
4 beef tenderloin filets (6 oz each)
1 dash parsley, finely chopped
Rosemary sprig, for garnish
Procedures
1.HEAT oil and butter in large saute pan over medium heat. Add sliced onions, salt, and pepper.
2.COOK 10 minutes or until caramelized (softened and golden brown), stirring frequently.
3.ADD wine, broth, vinegar and chopped rosemary. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes or until sauce is reduced by half.
4.RUB beef filets with oil, then season with salt and pepper. Grill to preferred temperature.
5.PLACE grilled filets on a large platter; top with sauce. Garnish with parsley and rosemary.
I can't get to the tomato soup recipe right now, but I'll post it soon.
