INSTRUCTIONS
[1] Combine pear, water, and juice in pan. Bring to boil. Remove from
heat; let stand and cool. [2] Remove pear and any seeds that surfaced.
Reserve 1 1/4 cup of liquid in a 2-cup measuring cup. [3] Heat a
little optional olive oil in the skillet and add meat, cook until
browned and tender. Remove from pan and keep warm. [4] Add garlic and
mustard to the skillet and cook about 1 minute. Dissolve cornstarch in
the pear water; add to skillet and stir over heat until mixture boils
and thickens. Stir in brandy (or cap of brandy extract for the
flavor). Add extra garlic. Quickly slice the steak; slice the pear.
Two portions: Arrange a fan of pear on heated plate and a fan of beef
slices. Put orange shred between the fans. Cover with the sauce.
Garnish with parsley or mint. (Notes --leave the peel on the pear. *
tenderloin's been tough ('96). Trim a strip; a sirloin. If we grill
(charcoal) the meat, put a little of the 'juice' caught on the meat
platter in the skillet and warm the garlic and mustard in that. Make 1
steak, 3/4-lb. Extra beef added to a lentil and spinach soup - good,
do again.) NOTES : Fast! Steep pear about an hour ahead of time.
Make-ahead side dish, like confetti rice, works well. Warm dinner
plates on top of steamer.
