BEEF STROGANOFF FROM LE CORDON BLEU
Stroganoff is of Russian origin, and there are many variations. This wonderful stroganoff recipe comes from a book by chefs from Le Cordon Bleu cooking schools. It's made with filet of beef or sirloin strips instead of the usual ground beef, and takes less than 30 minutes start to finish. Perfect for company -or- a busy weeknight meal! Tip: For variation, I sometimes like to add a handful of sliced fresh mushrooms along with the shallots or onions, and a half teaspoon of Dijon plus a tablespoon of brandy added to the sauce is quite tasty. I usually serve our stroganoff over egg noodles, but rice or potatoes would be equally good. A salad of mixed greens is nice, to round out the meal. Hope you enjoy as much as we do!

BEEF AU BLEU
Steps:
- Move the oven rack to the top rungs, and heat the oven to broil for a good 10 minutes. Season the steaks on both sides with salt, and pepper and rub all over with a little olive oil. Set the meat in a cast iron pan, and broil 4 to 6 minutes per side, or until done to your liking. Remove to a carving board, cover with foil, and let rest 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, crumble the cheese into a saucepan, pour over the cream, and gently heat to melt. Carve the meat and arrange on a serving platter. Pour over the juices. Cook's Note: if you feel there is too much juice, you can reduce it first. Spoon over a little of the sauce and pour the rest into a sauce jug for passing around the table.
- Serve with Endives with Oranges or on a bed of watercress.
- Halve the endives lengthwise. Melt the butter, sugar, and vinegar to caramel in a large saute pan, and then add the wine. Lay in the endive, cut side down. Season the endive with salt, and pepper, cover the pan with foil, and cook over medium-low heat, turning a few times, until very tender, about 20 to 30 minutes.
- While the endive cooks, cut the skin off the oranges with a knife, to expose the flesh, then remove the sections, holding the oranges over a bowl to catch the juices. Add the juices to the endive, but reserve the sections until the very end.
- When the endives are soft, uncover the pan, and continue cooking, turning the endives occasionally, to reduce the liquid to a glaze and caramelize the endives. At the last minute, add the orange sections to heat through, and serve.

Lightly pound 1/4-inch border around cutlets' outer edges to seal veal sandwich. Make 3 more sandwiches in same manner.
- Line a baking sheet with wax paper. Stir together bread crumbs, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a large shallow baking dish. Stir together flour, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in another large baking dish. Whisk together eggs, remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a third large baking dish.

Transfer coated sandwich to a rack set on a baking sheet. Dredge and coat remaining sandwiches in same manner. Chill, uncovered, 1 hour, and let stand at room temperature 30 minutes before cooking.

- If you don't have a meat mallet, you can use a rolling pin to pound the beef tenderloin.
- To prevent the cheese from leaking out during cooking, make sure to seal the edges of the beef tenderloin securely.
- To achieve a crispy crust, cook the beef tenderloin over medium-high heat until browned on both sides.
