 These are great with the gourmet ribeye steaks from http://www.socalmeats.com.  Thaw them first, use a quick thaw method (remove steaks from freezer and put in a large bowl of room temperature tap water, the more steaks the larger bowl of water  is needed).

2 to 3 Cremini or Portobello, sliced

1. In a small skillet over medium, melt 4 Tbsp of the butter
2. Stir in bread crumbs, herbs, and pepper
3. Cook, stirring until butter is absorbed, 2 to 3 minutes
4. Stir in whiskey
5. Season steak inside and out with salt and pepper
6. Spread half of the mixture in each steak and press down to seal
7. In a large skillet over medium high heat, heat the oil until hot, not smoking.
8. Cook the steaks 3 to 5 minutes on each side until seared.
9. Transfer to platter and cover loosely
10. Return the skillet to medium heat melt remaining 4 Tbsp of butter
11. Add the shallot and mushrooms and cook 3 to 5 minutes or until tender
12. Push vegetables to side of skillet and return the steaks to the center
13 Cook an additional 3 to 5 minutes on each side for medium rare or until your preference, and vegetables are browned.
14 To serve, place a steak in the center of 2 plates and spoon mushroom mixture and pan juices over the top of each

Grilling gourmet steak from socalmeats.com

Hi Folks!!!
Dave here, just wanted to write a short article about what I love to do, grill.  Oh, yeah.  Gourmet beef, Seafood, Chicken and even some veggies to go with it.  My favorite is grilling steak, good steak.  I recently ordered some Gourmet Steaks and Seafood from a local business here in Southern California, SoCalMeats.com , they brought them out, let me check the steaks and seafood out first before I paid them.  An amazingly great service, I will definitely buy from them again. 

The steaks were killer, the delivery guy told me that I should grill them from frozen, so I figured hey, why not, never done that before, they sell a bunch of them so they must know what he was talking about.  What he told me is this:(keep in mind this beef and seafood comes in a vacuum sealed, flash frozen state.)

1.  Heat the grill up, put it on high and let the grate get really hot.  Take the gourmet steaks out of the freezer, remove them from the packaging, and sear them for two minutes on each side.  While searing sprinkle some garlic powder, black pepper, and seasoning salt on each side. 

2.  After searing, turn the heat down to just below medium, and finish slow cooking them to your desired temperature.  I like my steaks medium rare, (almost mooing) so I let them cook 6 - 7 minutes on each side and cut into them to check.  I couldn't believe how juicy these steaks were.  I know I am supposed to use a thermometer, you should never cut meat to check it while grilling, but I just can't help myself sometimes. 

Let me tell you, it was that easy.  While I was grilling the wife made us a salad and some black beans, what a wonderful meal.
