1 (4- to 5-pound) beef tenderloin, silver skin removed, cut into steaks

about 1/2-inch thick

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

1/2 cup Jack Daniel's

Tennessee Whiskey

Salt and pepper to taste



1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.



2. Salt and pepper steaks on each side.



3. In heavy oven-proof skillet more than large enough to hold all the

steaks, heat vegetable oil on high. Sear steaks well on each side, and then

place pan in the oven for 8 to 10 minutes. Remove and set steaks aside on a

serving platter.



4. Place pan on stovetop burner over medium heat and scrape the browned bits

from the bottom of the pan. Temporarily remove from burner and pour in the

Jack Daniel's, return to burner and bring to a boil. Add salt and pepper and

allow to boil approximately 3 minutes. Remove from stove and pour sauce over

steaks. Makes about 4 servings.
