Jim Vorheis
6 oz Slice filet mignon, about 1
-1/2 to 3 inches wide
1/8 ts Fresh lime juice,
-approximately
Sea salt
Freshly ground pepper

Place the beef between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound, pushing it
outward as you go, to a rough oval shape. Fold into a package and pound
out again to the required size. Peel off the top plastic wrap and replace
with wax paper. Turn meat over and replace second sheet of plastic with
wax paper; set aside until ready to use.

Heat a griddle. When very hot, grease lightly. Remove top paper. Sprinkle
the exposed side of the meat with lime juice and salt and pepper and lay it
face down, with the aid of the paper, on the griddle. Strip off the bottom
paper. Cook for about 2 seconds, flip the meat over with two spatulas so
it will not break in the middle, and cook for 2 seconds more. Serve
immediately, flat if possible, on a large plate with refried beans, and
fresh salsa of your choice.
