Recipe by Bill Hilbrich

The natural flavors of the mushrooms and rum, as well as the small amount of alcohol will enhance the flavor of the meat. My preference is the Chuck Eye Steak, but any tender cut of meat could be used including a ground beef patty or even a chicken breast. Cooking is a Creative Sport.

DIRECTIONS

Rub both sides of the steak, first with the pepper, and then the olive oil.
Sear the meat in a dry frying pan for 3 1/2 minutes per side or until you are happy with the doneness.
Remove the meat, add the butter and stir until it is melted and starts to turn brown.
Reduce the heat, add the flour, rum, liquid from the mushroom can, and the mushrooms.
Stir until the sauce thickens.
If the sauce is too thick, add the water.
Adjust taste with the salt.
Serve with a baked potato, or another option is to add cooked pasta to the mushroom sauce while it is still in the pan.
