Recipe Introduction

Wow, this seems like a rather expensive holiday to celebrate.It's National Filet Mignon Day, the day when you go all out and buy some steaks. I'm not a big steak eater (haven't had one in years, now that I think of it), and I doubt this day will make me break my streak, but Ask The Meat man has some recipes for Steak Diane, Beef Filet Mignon Salad, Sauteed Filet Mignon, and a couple of others.Today also happens to be the day that Julia Child passed away, in 2004. She probably would have liked a nice steak and a few glasses of wine.Source is Holiday Insights
