    Title: Filet Mignon Stanley
    Categories: Beef, Fruits, Sauces
    Yield: 8 servings

    8 Filet mignons; 1 1/4" thick
    Salt & pepper
    Melted butter
    4 Bananas; halved lengthwise
    1/4 lb Butter

    MMMMM---------------------HORSERADISH SAUCE--------------------------
    3/4 c Prepared horseradish
    1/3 c Heavy cream
    1/8 ts Cayenne pepper

    Preheat the broiler. Sprinkle the filets with salt and
    pepper. Place on the rack of a broiling pan and baste
    the top side with melted butter. Broil about 5 to 6
    minutes for rare, 7 to 8 minutes for medium, 9 to 10
    minutes for well done, placing the broiling pan about 4
    inches from the heat. Remove the pan from the broiler.
    Turn meat over and baste lightly with butter on the
    second side. Put back in the broiler and broil the same
    amount of time on the second side.

    While the meat is broiling, melt the 1/4 lb. of butter
    of medium heat in a large heavy skillet and saute' the
    sliced bananas until soft (but not mushy) and lightly
    browned, about 4 minutes on each side.

    To prepare the horseradish sauce, combine all sauce
    ingredients in a small saucepan. Beat vigourously with a
    whisk until quite smooth, then warm over low heat until
    heated through.

    To serve, place the filets on preheated plates, with a
    slice of sauteed banana to each side and a generous
    tablespoon of horseradish sauce placed directly on the
    plate (to one side of a banana slice is a good spot),
    but not on the meat or bananas. Serve immediately.
