Seduce A Carnivore Steak

This revolutionary recipe involves the four basic elements involved in the seduction of any carnivore: steak, butter, fire, and alcohol. It's quick, simple, and guaranteed to work.*

Seductive Elements:
2-4 beef tenderloin steaks or other fabulous cuts of cow
4 Tbsp. of salted (regular) butter or margarine/butter-like spread
4 Tbsp. of honey dijon mustard (stone ground preferred)
3 Tbs. of Worcestershire sauce
1/2 cup brandy (the cheap stuff's fine)
3/4 cup heavy or whipping cream
Salt and Pepper

Note: Remember that the steak will keep cooking after they're removed from heat and wrapped in foil. So if you want medium rare, it might be wise to remove the steaks at rare and wrap.

The Process:
-Lightly coat steaks with salt and pepper.
-Melt butter in a large skillet over medium high heat. Sear the steaks by pressing each exposed surface of the steak into the pan for just a few seconds until meat changes color. Then cook for about 3 minutes on each side for rare.
-Remove steaks and wrap in foil and set aside.

-Mix mustard and worcestershire sauce together until blended. Add to the skillet and stir a few times. Take the skillet off the heat but do not shut the heat off.

******At this point, if you really want to impress your date/mate, ask them to come into the kitchen for this part of the process********

-Add brandy to skillet and carefully light with a match or lighter to ignite. There will be a big burst of fire. Lightly shake the skillet using a gentle back and forth motion (not up and down) to keep the flames moving over the alcohol.

-Once the flames die down, put the skillet back on the heat. Add the cream and cook for about 3-4 minutes, stirring often.

-Unwrap your steaks, place on individual plates and drizzle or pour the sauce over the steaks.

Serving Ideas:
Herbed Smashed Potatoes and Lemon Flavored Green Beans make fab sides.
