Directions

For me, about two minutes per side is fine.
-
Use a non-stick pan.
-
Remove the filets to a serving plate, reserving the pan drippings in the frying pan.
-
deglaze the pan with the white wine.
-
Add the thinly sliced garlic and the lemon juice.

Add the oysters and the oyster liquid and simmer for approx.
-
minutes until the oysters are just cooked; until the edges of the oysters are just beginning to curl.
-
Do not over-cook!

remove , with a slotted spoon, the oysters and
-
arrange around and over the filet, reserving the liquid in the pan.
-
Put the remaining liquid back on the stove-top, over med/high heat and reduce to half.
-
The sauce will slightly thicken.
-
At the last minute add the chopped parsley, salt and pepper.

Sounds weird but WOW!!!
-
it's goodNOTES : I saw this one on Jeff Smith's TV program, "The Frugal Gourmet" about a year ago.
-
As the program ended I realized that I had to try this recipe so I jotted it down on paper as best as I could remember it and then transferred it to "Mangia" on my Mac.
-
I have fixed the dish many times now, made a few adjustments and I believe it's about perfect for posting
