It was my brother's day off, and coincidentally, his turn to cook the "good meal". He called from the local market to say there was a sale on beef tenderloins, and to insure that I would be home tonight to eat.
His choice of mean this evening, Steak au poivre with garlic cheddar mashed potatoes and Maine lobster cakes.
We begin with the tenderloin-
He was excited because he got to use his Scrapyard Knife Co. Muk for the first time...
A stack of filets...(some are in storage)
Seasoned with the pepper medley
