El Yunque Filet Mignon With Rum Butter

Combine 1/3 cup rum, 2 tbsp shallots, 2 tsp lime juice and 1/4 tsp red pepper in shallow dish. Marinate steaks in rum mixture, 30-60 minutes, turning occasionally.

Preheat broiler.

Bring remaining rum and shallots to boil in small saucepan over medium heat; simmer 2 minutes. Stir in remaining lime juice and red pepper.

Reduce heat to low. Gradually whisk in butter, 1 piece at a time, until mixture thickens. Stir in parsley. Sprinkle both sides of steak with salt. Place steaks in shallow roasting pan.

Brush steak top with half of rum butter. Broil steaks 5 minutes.

Turn steaks, brush with remaining rum butter and broil 6 minutes longer for rare, or to desired doneness.

Place steaks on platter; spoon over pan drippings. Let stand a few minutes before serving.

Serve with shallots and small potatoes, if desired.
