3 ounces cream cheese
12 slices almond, toasted (about 1 tablespoon)

cheese
around the filling and make it into a smooth ball with the palms

hands. Refrigerate for 30 minutes. Remove from refrigerator;
roll each ball
in remaining pesto and top with 2 almond slices.
Gigi’s King-size Steak Tidbits
3 1/2 pounds boneless steak, such as sirloin, New
York strip,
or tenderloin,
cut 2 inches thick
1 cup dry red wine
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1 tablespoon dry mustard
1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt or Creole seasoning
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons dry red wine
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
Tabasco sauce, to taste
Cocktail rye or French bread
Trim the steak of any visible fat. Combine 1 cup red wine and
garlic and
use it to marinate the steak in the refrigerator for about an
hour, turning
at least once.
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine the butter, mustard, seasoned
salt,
Worcestershire, 2 tablespoons red wine and Tabasco.
Broil the steak, 3 to 4 inches from heat for 18 to 20 minutes, turning
once,
for medium-rare.
Heat the butter sauce. Cut the steak into bite-size strips, heap it into a
chafing dish or casserole, pour the sauce over it and serve at once with
wooden picks. Or, if you prefer, serve the sauce separately, allowing
each
guest to dunk his own. Serve with cocktail rye or French bread.
Makes 12 to
16 appetizer servings.
