Whip up a storm at your place with these ever popular steaks.

Ingredients:

4 lean fillet steaks (500 g), thick cut

4 97% fat-free bacon rashers

2 tsp freshly ground black pepper

8 large mushrooms without stalks

1 Tbsp water

4 rounds increased-fibre wholemeal bread

1 tsp lemon juice

1/2 cup Rich Brown Sauce (see recipe in Sauces)

1 Tbsp parsley, chopped

1 coat of olive oil spray

Directions:

Prepare the fillet steaks by trimming all fat and flattening into rounds.

Wrap a bacon rasher around each fillet and fasten with a toothpick.

Season well on both sides with black pepper. Grill under hot grill allowing about 5 minutes per side or until still pink in the middle.
If steaks are preferred well done, grill for a little longer.

Stir-fry whole mushrooms in oil and water until lightly brown.

Toast bread then cut rounds to fit fillets using a large pastry cutter. Sprinkle toast with lemon juice.

Place toast on platter with tornedos on top and garnish each with 2 sautéed mushrooms.

Stir mushroom juice into Rich Brown Sauce. Pour sauce around each steak allowing 1 1/2 tablespoons per serve.

Garnish with parsley and serve immediately.

Variations:

Tournedos may be served in many different ways using other garnishes such as grilled tomato, artichoke hearts, baby squash and sauces such as Italian Sauce and White Wine Sauce.
