    1 small onion, finely chopped
    4 oz chanterelle, cremini, or shiitake mushrooms, sliced
    1 tsp minced garlic
    1 cup beef stock

Directions

Instructions:
Mix marinade ingredients, add steaks. Marinate in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours.

To prepare ragout:
Heat the oil in a large sauté pan, and sauté onion until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the mushrooms and cook for 10 minutes, stirring frequently. Add the garlic and sauté 2 minutes. Add the stock, wine, thyme, and sundried tomatoes, and cook for about 10 minutes, or until the liquid is reduced by half. Add the tomato puree and adobo sauce, return to a simmer, and cook until thickened to a sauce-like consistency. Remove the thyme sprigs, and season with salt & pepper.

Prepare polenta. Bring water and salt to a simmer, lower heat, and slowly whisk in polenta. Whisk until thickened, 2-3 minutes. Divide onto 4 plates.

Grill steaks for 4-5 minutes, or to desired doneness. Spoon ragout over steaks and polenta to serve.
