INSTRUCTIONS

Prepare Steaks: Preheat your grill until its really hot. Season the
steaks with a little salt and pepper. The meat should be cooked
approximately 3-4 minutes per side depending how you like your  steaks.
When done, slice the steaks into 1/4 inch strips, fan out on  a warm
plate and add your wild mushroom sauce.  Prepare Wild Mushroom Sauce:
Melt butter in a sauce pan and sautÃ© shallots until transparent,
approximately 2-3 minutes. Add red wine, preferably something you may
be sipping while you are preparing this meal. Dont use plain old
cooking wine, big mistake. Add mushrooms and cook until tender and
wine has reduced to an essence. Add veal stock and simmer until the
sauce has thickened, approximately 8-10 minutes. Salt and pepper to
taste and serve over the steaks (and mashed potatoes).  Reluctant
Gourmet's Tips:  Make sure the grill is hot, really hot. This will sear
the outside of  the meat and keep the juices in. Dont use a fork to
turn the steaks,  use tongs or a spatula to prevent juices from leaking
out. If you are  using a broiler, you want to preheat it to get it hot
for the same  reason as above "Remember, never cook with any wine you
wouldn't  drink" Visit my page, The Reluctant Gourmet, at
