Ingredients

6 ounces mushrooms, morel fresh
1/2 cup beef broth
12 ounces beef tenderloin steaks
2 tablespoons butter divided, 1/4 stick
3/4 cup scallions, spring or green onions chopped
1/3 cup heavy whipping cream
1 tablespoon tarragon fresh, chopped
1 teaspoon tarragon fresh, chopped
1 tablespoon marsala wine dry

Directions

If using dried morels, place in 2-cup measuring cup.

Add enough hot water to reach 1 1/2-cup mark; let soak until soft, about 20 minutes.

Drain, reserving 1/2 cup soaking liquid.

Cut morels in half if large.

Meanwhile, sprinkle steaks with salt and pepper.

Melt 1 tablespoon butter in medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.

Add steaks and cook to desired doneness, about 4 minutes per side for medium-rare.

Transfer steaks to plates.

Add remaining 1 tablespoon butter to skillet; add morels and green onions and sauté until tender, 3 to 4 minutes.

Add cream, 1 tablespoon tarragon, Marsala, and reserved 1/2 cup morel soaking liquid or beef broth; simmer until thickened to light sauce consistency, about 5 minutes.

Season with salt and pepper.

Pour sauce over steaks, sprinkle with remaining 1 teaspoon tarragon, and serve.

Broccoli Italian Style

Great way to serve brocolli. I add a bit of lemon juice, smidge of seasame oil (tastes more like Asian brocolli than Italian). Cook/steam the brocolli in a few tablespoons of water in a pot with a tight fitting lid instead of boiling. No more than 5 minutes in my opinion or it's overdone.
