| 12 | ounces | beef, filet mignon | 4 steaks |
| 2 | tablespoons | olive oil | |
| 2 | tablespoons | shallots | finely chopped |
| 1/4 | cup | madeira wine | |
| 3/4 | cups | beef broth | |
| 3 | teaspoons | butter | |
| 1 | teaspoon | flour, all-purpose | |
| 2 | teaspoons | parsley leaves | chopped |
Sprinkle the meat on both sides with salt and pepper. Heat the oil and when very hot add the meat. Cook over high heat about 5 minutes. Cook longer if you want medium or well-done meat.
Turn the meat and continue cooking over high heat about 5 minutes, or longer if desired. Remove the meat to a warm platter and keep warm.
Pour off the fat from the skillet. Add the shallots. Add the wine and cook over high heat about 30 seconds. Add the broth and bring to a full rolling boil, stirring to dissolve the brown particles that cling to the bottom and sides of the skillet. Add salt and pepper.
Cook until reduced by half. Meanwhile, blend 2 tsp. of butter and flour in small mixing bowl. Stir it into the simmering sauce and cook briefly. Swirl in the remaining teaspoon of butter. Strain the sauce over the meat and dot the center of each filet with a dab of parsley.
Serve immediately.

Most families these days are torn apart and family dinners are extinct. There always seems to be problems such as Dad has to work late or the kids are out having fun with their friends. No one seems to care much about the warmth and joy a family dinner ca...
I cooked sweet (not hot) sausage thoroughly. Completely drained off all the grease, then I added the olive oil and peppers. I added the onions later since they don't take as long to cook. I used some leftover spaghetti sauce I had instead of tomato paste. I didn't add fennel seeds since I didn't have any. Even though I played with the recipe, it was absolutely delicious. I think it's an easy recipe that will accept lots of variations according to your taste and what ingredients you have on hand. The wine is a must!
