3 tablespoons butter
2 teaspoons flour

6 filet (6 oz.) mignons -- thawed
6 slices french bread
6 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup scotch

Slice mushrooms and saute in 3 Tbsp butter. Add flour and salt and pepper
to taste. Blend well. Stir in warm cream. Keep well-heated, in a separate
skillet, while you saute the filets in hot butter for 2 1/2 minutes* per
side (for rare) Saute bread slices in 6 Tbsp. butter, turning often to
prevent butter from being absorbed. Arrange bread slices in a ring on
well-heated platter.

Top with the filets and arrange the mushroom sauce in the center. Stir the
Scotch into pan juices, boil up for a minute or two and spoon sauce over
the meat. Additional sauce can be passed separately Serves 6.

*This will be extremely rare. For medium-rare interior, saute for 3 minutes
per side.
