The recipe was requested by Al Malinauskas of
Thornhill, Ontario who writes:
"My wife and I celebrated our 25th wedding
anniversary last summer at the Pine Apple Inn &
Bakehouse. (149 Main St., Unionville, Ontario (416)
940-6639) "The grilled Alberta steak was done to
perfection and the Burgundy Shallot Sauce with it was
simply the best that I have ever enjoyed"
Credit for the cooking goes to chef David Watt who
apprenticed at The Ritz Hotel in London, England, and
then came home to work at Sansoucci in the Sutton
Place Hotel before opening The Pine Apple Inn in
Unionville in 1991 with James Horner and Allan Bell.
They describe the style of cooking here as "a mixture
of old and new".

Editor's note: For those of you who wonder what an
Aberta steak is, I encourage you to substutite a Texas
steak if you can't get the Alberta version [ real
thing :-) ]. Both are mighty good snackin'
ps. Happy 25th Anniversary Al, I hope you and your
sweetheart have another 25 or 50 together.
