Rice Meatloaf

1 pound extra lean ground beef
1/2 cup uncooked white rice
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
1/4 cup minced red bell pepper
1 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon salt or to taste
1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon minced fresh or dried herbs of your choice (such as rosemary, basil, chives, sage, and/or tarragon)
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 egg, beaten
1/4 cup tomato ketchup
1/4 cup skim or non-fat milk
1/4 cup dry bread crumbs

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a small loaf pan.

In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, uncooked rice, onion, bell pepper, garlic, salt, pepper, herbs, Worcestershire sauce, egg, ketchup, milk, and bread crumbs. Using your clean hands (removing any rings), mix together all the ingredients. Mix thoroughly but lightly, being careful not to pack the meat too much. NOTE: This meatloaf mixture will be moister than most recipes at this point. The extra liquid is needed for the rice to absorb while cooking.

Place in prepared loaf pan. Bake approximately 60 minutes or until meatloaf reaches an internal temperature of 160°F (do not overcook or it will be dry). Remove from oven and let the meatloaf rest for 15 minutes before serving.

Makes 4 servings.

BEEF MEDALLIONS WITH SPICY SHIITAKES
 
1 tablespoon, plus 1 1/2 teaspoons vegetable oil
4 beef tenderloin medallions (about 4 ounces each), patted dry
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more for seasoning
Freshly ground black pepper
4 ounces shiitake mushrooms (about 12 medium), stemmed
2 shallots, coarsely chopped
1 clove garlic, minced

1/4 cup Cognac or other brandy, or Madeira
1/4 cup chicken broth, homemade or low-sodium canned
3 tablespoons light sour cream
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley leaves

Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a medium skillet (ideally not nonstick) over medium-high heat. Season the beef with salt and pepper. Add the medallions to the pan and cook about 3 minutes on each side, for medium-rare, or until desired doneness. Remove beef from pan and set on plates or a platter in a warm spot.

Add the remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons oil to the skillet. Add the shiitakes and cook over medium-low heat, until soft, about 4 minutes. Add the shallots, garlic, and salt and cook until translucent, about 2 minutes. Pull the skillet from the heat, add the Cognac, and use a wooden spoon to scrape up any brown bits that cling to the pan. Return to the heat and cook until the liquid is reduced, about 1 minute. (If you are cooking over a gas flame the alcohol may flame, simply cook until the flames die down.) Add the chicken broth, and cook until saucy, about 2 minutes more. Remove from the heat, stir in the sour cream and parsley, and season with salt and pepper.

Spoon mushrooms and sauce over the medallions and serve.
