Can you recommend a way to clean granite countertops without buying fancy sprays formulated for this? I use ammonia and water. That gets the dirt off, but it also seems to wear away the shiny finish. Are there inexpensive products to use that will both clean and shine? Apartment Therapy The Kitchn \| The Kitchen Cure is Coming! Flag this comment	4/2/09 3:41 PM
My favorite way to prepare Filet Mignon: 1) Heat a cast iron skillet with a small amount of olive oil until the oil shimmers. 2) Place steaks in skillet, cook on both sides until done to the preferred degree of rareness. 3) Remove steaks, plate them, and hold in a warm oven while you prepare the sauce. 4) Add a generous handful of chopped shallots and sliced mushrooms, and 2 T unsalted butter. Stir with a wooden spoon until cooked through (this will take only a short while). 5) Deglaze the skillet with about 1/4 cup of port, Madeira, or dry sherry. 6) Pour sauce over the steaks and serve.
