Preparation
Tenderloin Sandwich
1. Preheat grill to medium-high. Season filet with salt and pepper, and grill to medium rare (140°F internal temperature) or desired doneness. Remove steaks from grill, let rest 5 minutes and slice.
2. Preheat oven broiler. Arrange mushrooms on baking sheet in circles to fit biscuits. Sprinkle cheese evenly over mushrooms and broil 30 to 60 seconds, until cheese melts.
3. Assemble sandwiches by stacking steak on biscuit bottom and adding bacon, mushrooms and cheese, peppers, greens and biscuit tops spread with mayonnaise.
Sweet Potato Biscuits
1. Preheat oven to 450°F. In a bowl, mix sweet potatoes with baking mix and cinnamon. Add milk and margarine, stirring until blended.
2. Roll onto a floured surface to 1-inch thick. Cut with a 2-inch cutter or glass, and place on ungreased baking sheet. Bake 10 to 12 minutes, until golden brown. Serve hot.
Chef's tip: For a savory biscuit, omit cinnamon and add 1 tablespoon chopped parsley and 1 teaspoon seasoning salt.
Note: Leftover biscuits are ideal to serve the next day for breakfast.
