Carmelized Mushrooms and Meat    

One bottle of marsalla wine.  1lb of whole mushrooms(smaller are better).  1/2C to 1 C of brown sugar.  About 1lb of meat cut into strips (I like use lighter meats such as pheasant or turkey).  Enough oil to fill cooking pan 1/8" deep.  About 2C flour.  Corn starch.  Season flour and coat meat.  Pan fry meat in batches in oil until brown.  Add all cooked meat into a clean pan and add most of the bottle of wine and brown sugar.  Simmer a few minutes to blend ingredients and serve over rice.  Use some of the wine or cold water to disolve 2 tablespoons corn starch to thicken sauce.  Serve over rice.

Sirloin with Brandied Mushrooms    
About 1lb. of sirloin. One onion cut into bite sized pieces. 1lb of mushrooms. Seasoning (rosemary, thyme, basil, garlic, salt, pepper, etc.). 1 C brandy, bourbon, or red wine. 1/2 C half & half. Season vegetables and partially cook in pan in the alcohol. Sear meat on grill or in pan. Add cream and meat to pan of vegetables and cook until meat is rare/medium rare and vegetables are tender. Serve with rice.
