Hepburn’s Brownies

1/2 cup unsalted butter
2 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped
1 cup sugar
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/4 cup flour
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup walnuts, chopped

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Butter and flour an 8×8x2 inch square baking pan. Set aside. Melt the butter and chocolate in a heavy medium saucepan over very low heat, whisking until smooth. Remove from heat and add the sugar, eggs, and vanilla. Whisk until well blended. Whisk in the flour and salt just until blended. Stir in the walnuts.

Transfer the batter to the prepared pan. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until a wooden toothpick inserted into the center comes out sticky, with just a few crumbs clinging to it, but is not wet. Do Not Overbake. Cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.

Chill if you have the time. Cut into squares. If chilled, let stand at room temperature before serving. Yield: 12 brownies.

Grilled Filet Mignon

4 (8 oz. ea.) filet mignon steaks, each about 3/4 inch thick
Extra virgin olive oil, for brushing
Salt and ground black pepper
1 red bell pepper, grilled and thinly sliced, for garnish
1 yellow bell pepper, grilled and thinly sliced, for garnish

Prepare a charcoal or gas grill so that the coals are medium hot. Spray the grilling grate lightly with nonstick vegetable spray.

Brush each filet with olive oil and then sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Grill over the medium hot coals for 11 to 13 minutes, turning once during grilling, for medium rare meat. Take care when turning the meat to position it on the grill so that it takes on grilling marks.

Turn the steaks with tongs, not a fork, to prevent juices from escaping. Transfer the meat to a cutting board and let it rest for 2 to 3 minutes. Serve one steak per person, garnished with thinly sliced grilled red and yellow peppers. Serves: 4.

Orange Antelope Chops

8 antelope chops or medallions
1 1/4 cups orange marmalade
2 Tbsp butter
1 tsp salt
1 clove garlic (minced)

Mix all ingredients except chops in a saucepan over low heat until
marmalade melts. Broil chops until done turning once. While broiling,
brush sauce over both sides to keep the meat moist. If antelope is
overcooked, it becomes unpalatably dry. Be sure to use all of your sauce in basting.
