Chef‘s Kitchen
by Richard Brown, Executive Chef
Filet Diane
Ingredients
• 1.5 oz. butter • 1 oz. olive oil • 8 ea. Filet Medallions, 4 oz. each, lightly pounded
• 2 oz. shallot, minced • 12 oz. garlic, minced
Instructions 1. Add olive oil to a large sauté pan or even a cast iron pan works great. Brush both sides of the filet mignon steaks and lightly with Dijon mustard and then season with salt and pepper. Brown steaks on both sides, approximately 1 minute per side, and then remove steaks and set them aside. 2. Add shallot and garlic to cast iron pan and cook over medium heat, once lightly toasted, add mushrooms and cook until water releases from the mushrooms. 3. Remove pan from heat, add Brandy, light the Brandy with a match and then return to stove. Once the alcohol from the brandy is cooked off the flame will go out. 4. Next add cream and gently stir to incorporate. 5. Add beef stock that has been lightly thickened with corn starch. 6. Once incorporated add the Worcestershire sauce, green onions and season with salt and pepper. 7. Now add the steaks that have been resting to the pan and the sauce. Reduce for a minute or two and then remove from heat and place the steaks on a plate or platter. Place sauce back on stove for a second while you fold in butter and then quickly remove from heat and serve with your favorite vegetables and potatoes • 6 oz. mushrooms, cremini, sliced • 6 oz. Brandy (or Sherry if you like) • 1.5 tbsp. Mustard, Dijon • 6 oz. Heavy Whipping Cream • 8 oz. Beef stock, slightly thickened with cornstarch • 1 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce • 1/ bu.

The Seven Oaks Book Club
The Seven Oaks Book Club meets each month to discuss books on a reading list which is created by mutual consent of the Book Club members. All members of SOCC are invited to attend. Our selection for November is.. . The Frozen River by Ariel Lawhon
Maine, 1789: When the Kennebec River freezes, entombing a man in the ice, Martha Ballard is summoned to examine the body and determine cause of death. As a midwife and healer, she is privy to much of what goes on behind closed doors in Hallowell. Her diary is a record of every birth and death, crime and debacle that unfolds in the close-knit community. Months earlier, Martha documented the details of an alleged rape committed by two of the town’s most respected gentlemen—one of whom has now been found dead in the ice. But when a local physician undermines her conclusion, declaring the death to be an accident, Martha is forced to investigate the shocking murder on her own. Over the course of one winter, as the trial nears, and whispers and prejudices mount, Martha doggedly pursues the truth. Her diary soon lands at the center of the scandal, implicating those she loves, and compelling Martha to decide where her own loyalties lie.
Clever, layered, and subversive, Ariel Lawhon’s newest offering introduces an unsung heroine who refused to accept anything less than justice at a time when women were considered best seen and not heard. The Frozen River is a thrilling, tense, and tender story about a remarkable woman who left an unparalleled legacy yet remains nearly forgotten to this day.
Our next meeting is Wednesday, November 19 th at 11:30am.
Please email Shannon Ericsson at jshannonericsson@bak.rr.com to receive information on joining the meeting.
