Recipe - Creamy Mushroom Steaks

2 small Beef Top Loin Steaks
1 tablespoon Butter

THE SAUCE
One half pound Mushrooms, Sliced
1 tablespoon Butter
3 tablespoon Onion, Chopped
2 tablespoon AllPurpose Flour
1 One half cup Half and Half
1 teaspoon Soy Sauce
1 teaspoon Onion, Grated
Salt
Pepper
1 Sliced Red Bell Pepper
1 Sliced Green Bell Pepper

Trim the steaks of excess fat and allow to sit at room temperature for 2 to
3 hours. Prepare the mushroom sauce. Saute the cut or sliced up mushrooms in butter
for a few minutes in a heavy saucepan until they just start to brown. Add
the chopped onions and saute until they are golden and transparent.
Sprinkle with flour and stir to blend well. Add the half and half a little
at a time while stirring. Simmer until thick and creamy. Add the soy sauce,
grated onion and salt and pepper to taste. Brown some butter in a skillet.
Add the steaks. Brown slightly on both sides. Reduce heat, cover and simmer
for a few minutes in their own juices. Add the mushroom sauce to the
skillet. Let the steaks simmer in the sauce until they are tender and done
to your liking. Remove the membranes and seeds from the bell peppers and
slice vertically into thin strips. Use as a garnish on the steaks. Serve
while hot.
