--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  1       lb           Beef filet
    1/2   c            Extra virgin or very
                       - light olive oil
    1/2   c            Lemon juice
    1/4   c            Red wine
  1       ts           Fresh shallots -- minced
  2       ts           Capers -- drained
  2       ts           Calvert's cedar street garlic
                       - mustard
  2       ts           Parsley -- chopped
  1                    Salt
  4       oz           Fresh mushrooms -- cleaned, chopped
  2       ts           Parmesan cheese -- freshly grated

 Trim fat from beef, wrap in foil, and place in freezer for
 30 minutes to facilitate slicing. While meat is in freezer, make
 sauce by combining lemon juice, wine, shallots, capers, mustard,
 and parsley. Gradually whisk in olive oil by pouring in as a small
 stream. Add salt and mushrooms and toss. Refrigerate for at least
 20 minutes. Remove meat from freezer and with a very sharp thin
 knife slice on a diagonal into paper thin slices. Place beef slices
 on platter or individual plates. Top with sauce with additional
 sauce served on the side. Sprinkle parmesan cheese over the filet
 slices.

 Serves 2 as an entree, and 6 as an appetizer.
