    4 (3 oz ea) filet mignon
    - medallions
    1/2 ts Salt
    1/4 ts Fresh ground pepper
    1 tb Unsalted butter
    4 ts Minced shallots
    1 ts Minced garlic
    1 c Sliced white mushroom caps
    1/4 c Cognac or brandy
    2 ts Dijon mustard
    1/4 c Heavy cream
    1/4 c Reduced veal stock
    2 ts Worcestershire sauce
    2 dr Hot red pepper sauce
    1 tb Fine chopped green onions
    1 ts Minced parsley leaves

    MMMMM---------------------REDUCED VEAL STOCK--------------------------
    4 lb Veal bones; some meat
    - attached, in 2" pieces
    2 tb Olive oil
    2 c Coarse chopped yellow
    - onions
    1 c Coarse chopped carrots
    1 c Coarse chopped celery
    5 cl Garlic; peeled, smashed
    1/4 c Tomato paste
    6 qt Water
    4 Bay leaves
    1 ts Dried thyme
    1 ts Whole black peppercorns
    1 ts Salt
    2 c Dry red wine

    Season the beef medallions on both sides with the salt
    and pepper.

    Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high
    heat. Add the meat and cook for 45 seconds on the first
    side. Turn and cook for 30 seconds on the second side.
    Add the shallotsand garlic to the side of the pan and
    cook, stirring, for 20 seconds. Add the mushrooms and
    cook, stirring, until soft, 2 minutes. Place the meat on
    a plate and cover to keep warm.

    Tilt the pan towards you and add the brandy. Tip the pan
    away from yourself and ignite the brandy with a match.
    (Alternatively, remove the pan from the heat to ignite,
    and then return to the heat.) When the flame has burned
    out, add the mustard and cream, mix thoroughly and cook,
    stirring, for 1 minute. Add the veal stock and simmer
    for 1 minute. Add the Worcestershire and hot sauce and
    stir to combine. Return the meat and any accumulated
    juices to the pan and turn the meat to coat with the
    sauce.

    Remove from the heat and stir in the green onions and
    parsley. Divide the medallions and sauce between 2 large
    plates and serve immediately.

    REDUCED VEAL STOCK: Set the oven @ 375+XF/190+XC.

    Place the bones in a large roasting pan and toss with
    the oil. Roast, turning occasionally, until golden
    brown, about 1 hour.

    Remove from the oven and spread the onions, carrots,
    celery, and garlic over the bones. Smear the tomato
    paste over the vegetables and return the pan to the
    oven. Roast for another 45 minutes. Remove from the oven
    and pour off the fat from the pan.

    Transfer the bones and vegetables to a large stockpot.
    Do not discard the juices in the roasting pan. Add the
    water, bay leaves, thyme, salt, and peppercorns to the
    stockpot and bring to a boil.

    Place the roasting pan over two burners on medium-high
    heat. Add the wine and stir with a heavy wooden spoon to
    deglaze and dislodge any browned bits clinging to the
    bottom of the pan. Add the contents to the stockpot.
    When the liquid returns to a boil, reduce the heat to
    low and simmer, uncovered, for 8 hours, skimming
    occasionally to remove any foam that rises to the
    surface.

    Ladle through a fine-mesh strainer into a large clean
    pot. Bring to a boil, reduce to a gentle boil, and cook,
    uncovered, until reduced to 6 cups in volume, about 1
    hour. Let cool, then cover and refrigerate overnight.

    Remove any congealed fat from the surface of the stock.
    The stock can be stored, covered, in the refrigerator
    for up to 3 days, or frozen in airtight containers for
    up to 2 months.
