TRADITIONAL STEAK MODIGA

Traditional Steak Modiga image

This is an absolute favorite. This is served at a local restaurant. I usually double the sauce so we can dip our french bread into it. It is just as good with chicken as the steak. We will often make half chicken and half steak. I would also suggest using a good quality chicken stock. My personal opinion is you really do need to use provel cheese. I have tried substituting and wasn't as happy with the results. Hope you enjoy.

LORUSSO'S - TENDERLOIN MUDEGA (STEAK MODIGA)

Lorusso's - Tenderloin Mudega (Steak Modiga) image

My husband and I often go to "the hill" in St. Louis. It is an Italian neighborhood featuring some of the best restaurants and little Italian grocers. For our anniversary we went to LoRusso's Cucina and my DH order Tenderloin Mudega. He LOVED his meal and said it was the best thing he'd ever eaten. To my surprise they posted their recipe online. The cheese used at the restaurant is "provel" but I think that is only found in St. Louis. You can substitute any white, mild cheese you'd like. Here it is for all of us to make at home. I can't wait to surprise him with this one!!!
