The Pharisees were desperately determined to not break the laws of God. Consequently they devised a system to keep them from even coming close to angering God. They contrived a “fence” of Pharisaic rules that, if man would keep them, would guarantee a safe distance between himself and the laws of God… The “fence” or “hedge” laws accumulated into hundreds over the years and were passed around orally. Soon it became apparent that they were far from optional. These laws became every inch as important as the scriptural laws and in some instances far more crucial (William Coleman).

INGREDIENTS

8	lg	Artichokes
2		Beef tenderloin roast; 2 lb each
1	ts	Salt
		Pepper, cracked black; to taste
		Bearnaise sauce

INSTRUCTIONS

Prepare the artichokes; cut off the stem and cut off two-thirds of the
tops, leaving at least one-inch bottoms. Cook the bottoms; then cool them
slightly, and with a spoon scoop out and discard the fuzzy "chokes". Return
the artichokes to the cooking liquid and keep them warm.
Prepare coals of grill:  place coals on each side so that the meat is not
directly over medium hot coals. Rub pepper over the beef loins, then
sprinkle with salt. Grill until a meat thermometer registers 145 F. (medium
rare).
To serve, with a slotted spoon, remove the artichoke bottoms from the
cooking liquid, and drain them on paper towels.  Spoon some bearnaise sauce
into the center of the artichokes. Slice the meat thickly; arrange the meat
on the center of a warm platter and surround with the stuffed artichokes.
