Filet Mignons Lili

"From "Last Dinner on the Titanic: Menus and Recipes from the Great Liner," by Rick Archbold & Dana McCauley. TIP: Because this sauce is a reduction, the beef stock must be homemade if the sauce is to thicken properly. Bake the potato in advance (the baking time is not allowed for in the recipe times). It is also better to use two skillets to cook the meat than to crowd the filets. Delicious served with Recipe #248469"
