On my quest to keep even rich, hearty tasting dishes on the light side, I found this "Peppered Bourbon Steak" recipe in Cuisine Magazine and adapted it a little.. the total count for the steak recipe is 287 calories. Below is my re-written version of the Steak recipe and my own family recipe for "Scalloped Potatoes".
PEPPERED BOURBON STEAK
2 beef tenderloin steak (4oz. each)
1/4 tsp kosher salt (optional - I didn't use it)
Black peppercorns cracked. (I use McCormick's Pepper Grinder because it lets me adjust the sizes of peppercorns i want)
1 Tblsp EVOO (Use a good fresh one, I used a White Truffel EVVO from Temecula Olive Oil Company)
4 TBsp. Bourbon (aka American Whisky, like Jack Daniels or Crown Royal)
1/4 Cup of low-sodium beef broth
2 Tbsp of minced shallots (can use scallions if shallots are not available)
4 Tbsp of half and half
2 Tbsp of course ground mustard (can use deli mustard, I did and it worked fine)
Season steak filets with salt, press peppercorns into one side. Heat oil in saute' pan over medium-high heat, cook 3-4 min. per side for Med-Rare. Remove steaks from pan, tent with foil to keep warm.
Remove pan from heat. Add bourbon, simmer until liquid is reduced by half, add beef broth and shallots simmer for two minutes, stir in half and half and mustard. Return pan to medium heat. saute' for a couple of minutes and sauce thickens. Pour over Steak. Enjoy!!
