Grilled Tournedos Of Beef With Mushrooms

Yield: 6 Servings

6 6-oz tournedos of beef

center cuts of fillet mi

6 7-8 oz rib eye steaks

1 salt and pepper,To Taste

4 T  olive oil

1 juice of 1 lemon

3 cloves garlic,crushed

1 lg onion,thinly sliced

1/2 lb mushrooms,sliced

1/2 c  red wine

Place the tournedos side by side in a shallow pan and sprinkle them

with salt and pepper.  Mix 2 tablespoons olive oil with the lemon,

garlic, and onion.  Rub the mixture into the tournedos. Set them

aside on a plate to marinate at room temperature for 1 hour.

Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over

high heat.  Remove the tournedos from the marinade and reserve it.

With a paper towel, wipe or blot the tournedos and add them to the

pan. Cook them to the preferred degree of doneness (about 8 minutes

for rare, 10 to 12 minutes for medium). Remove them to a lightly

heated platter and keep them warm.

Add the marinade, mushrooms, and onions to the skillet and stir-fry

until the onions and mushrooms are lightly browned. Add the red wine.

Raise the heat to high to burn off the alcohol quickly. Cook until

the sauce reduces to a slightly creamy consistency, then spoon it

over the reserved tournedos.
