Filet Mignon Steaks out of Whole Beef Tenderloin?

Because the tenderloin was thicker at one end than the other I have some pieces that are 2-3 inches wide by 2 inches tall, and then some are 2 x 2. I don't want the smaller pieces to get overcooked, so perhaps I should tie them together to make uniform steaks. I'm planning on searing them and finishing them in the oven.

All together I have about 3 pounds of tenderloin.

Help! My Avgolemono Keeps Separating!

Thank you for your advice!

Help! My Avgolemono Keeps Separating!

I have been using just the egg yoks (2 of them for approximately 2 quarts). I have read different recipes that call for lightly beating the egg whites and then adding the egg yolk/lemon juice back to the whites before tempering with the stock.

Perhaps my stock is too hot when I temper the yolks?

Filet Mignon Steaks out of Whole Beef Tenderloin?

I would like to make Ina Garten's "steakhouse steaks" which calls for 2 10-oz filet mignon steaks. I purchased a small whole beef tenderloin and had the butcher cut the tenderloin and now have several small pieces, (they are of uniform height but not uniform width) rather than 2 steaks per se. Will it work if I tie the pieces together to make steaks?

I have never cooked this cut of beef before and would be grateful for any guidance!

Cookie recipe from 2005 issue of Gourmet or Bon Appetit

A few years ago, 2005 I think, a holiday baking magazine (I think it was Gourmet or Bon Appetit) had a recipe for an amazing cookie that had oatmeal, chocolate chips, pistachios, dried apricots and sweetened coconut in it. I've looked everywhere for this recipe but can't seem to find it, even online.

I made the cookies and would love to make them again!

Help! My Avgolemono Keeps Separating!

Every time I make Avgolemono (or Greek Lemon/Chicken soup) it separates. I whisk the eggs in a separate dish and temper with some o fthe hot broth but after I reincorporate the egg mixture back into the main soup pot it separates.

Any suggestions as to what I'm doing wrong?
