Traditional Steak Modiga
"This is an absolute favorite. This is served at a local restaurant. I usually double the sauce so we can dip our french bread into it. It is just as good with chicken as the steak. We will often make half chicken and half steak. I would also suggest using a good quality chicken stock. My personal opinion is you really do need to use provel cheese. I have tried substituting and wasn't as happy with the results. Hope you enjoy."

directions
- Press bread crumbs firmly onto steaks; grill or broil to preferred degree of doneness.
- While steaks are cooking, place a saucepan over medium-low heat; add butter. As soon as butter melts, add garlic; cook just until it becomes fragrant, about 90 seconds.
- Add mushrooms; cook 1 minute. Sprinkle in flour; cook, stirring, for 2 minutes.
- Gradually stir in chicken stock, wine and lemon juice; add salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a low boil and cook until thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove sauce from heat; set aside and keep warm. (Makes about 1-2/3 cups).
- Place each steak on a serving plate and cover with one-fourth of the provel; cover with warm sauce and serve immediately.

Fantastic!! my husband and i loved it! i followed the recipe exactly and it was beyond delicious! Its just like you would get from any italian restaurant on the hill! one suggestion for those who live in the saint louis area is to use provel cheese instead of provelone it puts the dish over the top! thank you so much for sharing the recipe! :) -
Great recipe, hard to find. Try adding a little bacon and it will be just like Gianinos. -
I was surfing "Zaar" and saw this recipe. I tried it with the chicken breasts that happened to be thawing at that moment. DELICIOUS. It was a restaurant quality chicken dish. I served it with roasted red potatoes and steamed broccolini. It is also quick and easy enough to be a delicious workday dinner in my house. Thank you! -
Excellent! Followed the recipe exactly!

Well, the baby is a year old now and we have been in our new house for a year. I thought I would have a lot more accomplished but we are slowing getting things done. I love being a mother and I think we are adjusting well. Other than that we are pretty boring couple. We love to eat and try new recipes. I am still trying to get back into the swing of things and cook more. I am very proud that my daughter is willing to try almost any type of food and hasn't really spit anything out yet. She even eats asparagus, mushrooms and swordfish. I know, I know I am going to be in for a rude awakening. But I am enjoying it for now.
