• Slice your Mushroom, Onion, Pepper, and Shallot into 1/8' strips.
• Heat a Wok or Saute Pan to Medium Heat.
• Add 2 teaspoons Olive Oil (Reserving 1 Tsp for the Filet).
• Add Veggies, season with 1 Tsp of Salt, Pepper, and Garlic Powder.
• Stir to Combine.
• Saute for 10-15 minutes until the veggies begin to caramelize.
• Set Aside.
• Cut a 6' slice from the French Bread and toast until golden.
• Turn off Toaster, but add Smoked Gouda to toast and leave it in the toaster (if you have a toaster oven).
• Remove Filet from Freezer (Keep the Filet in the Ziplock).
• Slice Filet into thinnest strips you can manage, then cut down the center perpendicularly.
• Heat Wok/Saute Pan to Medium-High Heat.
• Add 1 remaining teaspoons Olive Oil.
• Saute for 4-7 Minutes until no pink is showing (This allows for the meat to stay close to Medium Rare).
• For plating, start with the toast with cheese, then top with veggies and finish with a layer of Filet.
