<H2>Recipes - Steak and Irio</H2>
<HR>

<table border=0><tr><td>
<p> Yield: 8 portions
<p>Irio:</P>

Drain 1 16-oz. can peas and measure the liquid.<BR>
Put the peas through a vegetable mill or sieve to make a puree.<BR>
Drain 1 16-oz. can kernel corn and add the liquid to that of the peas.<BR>
In a 2-quart saucepan:<BR>
Prepare 4 cups instant mashed potatoes following package directions and
using the vegetable liquors as part of the required liquid.<BR>
Add: <DD>3 Tbs. butter
<DD>1 tsp. salt
<DD>1/4 tsp. pepper.<BR>
Blend the puree of peas into the mashed potatoes until a smooth green
color results.<BR>
Fold in the drained kernel corn.<BR>
The consistency should be that of firm mashed potatoes.

<p>Steak:</P>

In a large skillet:<BR>
Cut 3 Ibs. filet mignon (or any steak) in a 2 x 1/2 x 1/2-inch strips.<BR>
Saute in 4 oz. margarine or oil, until lightly browned.<BR>
Remove the steak from the skillet.<BR>
Blend in 6 tbs. flour to make a roux.<BR>
Add 2 cups onion soup made from a packaged mix and cook to medium-sauce
consistency.<BR>
Correct the seasoning with salt, pepper, and a little Tabasco.<BR>
Return the steak to the sauce.

<P>Put it together:</P>
Make a large mound (about 1 cup) of Irio in center of dinner plate.<BR>
Form a hole in the center about 2 inches in diameter.<BR>
Fill the hole with 1/2 cup of the sauteed steak and gravy.<BR>
Smooth around edges of the Irio so it looks like a volcano.
