Filet Mignon a La Empress

"This recipe comes from a cookbook called "Houston's Cooking" by Ann Criswell. Empress Of China was a restaurant here in Houston that has long closed down, however, the owner, Scot Chen, was kind enough to give me this cookbook as a gift. His restaurant is featured in the book and this was one of my favorite dishes he prepared for me."

  1. I don't know why the restaurant closed. This was perfect. The sauce was excellent. The only thing I changed was the cooking time. I just about had to triple The cooking time in the oven. My guest couldnt stop saying how good it was. This is obviously a keeper. I have trouble finding good beef here, and Im a bit hesitant to try new things with my beef when I find some that is good quality and not like shoe leather. Thank you Crabzilla.
