The sauce in this recipe is really yummy, but we decided the popovers need something extra...maybe some diced jalapenos? Cheddar instead of Parmesan? :)

Yield: 6 servings (serving size: 1 steak, 1 popover, and 1/3 cup sauce)

Ingredients:
Popovers:
* 1 cup fat-free milk
* 2 large eggs
* 4.5 ounces all-purpose flour (about 1 cup)
* 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
* Cooking spray
* 2 tablespoons grated fresh Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
Sauce:
* 1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil
* 1/3 cup thinly sliced shallots
* 1  8-ounce package sliced fresh mushrooms
* 2 garlic cloves, minced
* 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
* 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
* 1/2 cup pinot noir
* 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

* 2 tablespoons chopped fresh sage
* 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
Beef:
* 1 tablespoon olive oil
* 6 (4-ounce) beef tenderloin steaks
* 1 teaspoon kosher salt
* 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Preparation:
1. Combine milk and eggs in a bowl. Weigh or lightly spoon 4.5 ounces flour into a dry measuring cup; level with a knife. Add flour and 1/2 teaspoon salt to milk mixture, stirring well; let stand 30 minutes.
2. Preheat oven to 400°. Place popover tin in oven for 5 minutes. Remove tin from oven; lightly coat popover cups with cooking spray. Spoon 1/4 cup batter into each cup, and sprinkle with cheese. Bake at 400° for 35 minutes or until puffed and golden.
3. Heat a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add 1 1/2 teaspoons oil to pan; swirl to coat. Add shallots to pan; sauté 1 minute, stirring frequently. Add mushrooms to pan; sauté for 2 minutes or until almost tender. Add garlic to pan; sauté 30 seconds, stirring constantly. Stir in 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; cook 1 minute, stirring frequently. Add wine to pan; bring to a boil. Cook until liquid almost evaporates (about 3 minutes). Sprinkle 2 tablespoons flour over mushroom mixture; cook for 1 minute, stirring frequently. Gradually add the beef broth, stirring constantly; bring to a simmer. Cook 2 minutes or until slightly thick, stirring frequently. Stir in herbs.
4. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon oil. Sprinkle beef with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Add beef to pan; sauté 4 minutes on each side or until desired degree of doneness. Remove from pan; let stand 10 minutes.
