WEEKEND TREAT

This cold Wisconsin weather is making me crave some serious comfort food and I know exactly what it is - French Bistro Steaks or (Hanger Steaks).  It is my favorite thing to order on any menu - whether it be from Balthazar in New York, Florio in San Francisco, Coquette Cafe in Milwaukee or at my friend Mike Mueller's house in Shorewood,  simple and delicious.  As I was paging through my new favorite cookbook, "Barefoot Contessa's Back to the Basics" (which you can of course purchase at the The Home Market),  I decided I would treat myself and take the challenge of making this on my own.  Ina has such a way with food.  Here is the recipe... I will let you know how it turns out.
