When Tapas Becomes Entree

I’ve always been a big fan of tapas style dining. Small portions of food, shared among friends, provides enormous variety and great fun. I bought a few very nice filets from the butcher the other day. My game plan waws to prepare them along with a few other odds and ends and serve them tapas style. I had all the veggies and such done up, but the filets were the last to be prepared. I took the two filets and broiled them until they were just done (almost like the picture!). Moved them off to the side, poured the juices into a pan, added some Ruby Port and a dash of habanero powder.  I let the sauce reduce by half and then poured it onto two large plates and then placed the little filets in the middle of each plate. I then put a thin ”cap” of Verde Dolce Gorgonzola cheese on top of the filets and let the cheese warm. The plates never made it out of the kitchen.
