Ingredients
3/4 tsp coarsely ground black pepper
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp salt
4 beef tenderloin steaks (5 oz each), about 1-inch thick
2 Tbsp canola oil
4 large shallots, peeled and finely chopped
6 oz sliced portabella mushrooms
3/4 cup strong coffee
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
Directions
Preheat oven to 200F.
In small bowl, combine black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder and 1/4 tsp salt. Sprinkle both sides of steaks with spice mixture, pressing down with fingertips to adhere. Set aside. Let stand for 15 minutes.
Heat 1 Tbsp canola oil in large, nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook steaks 4 minutes, turn and cook 2-4 minutes longer or until desired doneness. Place steaks on separate plate and place in oven to keep warm.
Heat remaining 1 Tbsp canola oil to pan residue in skillet, cook shallots 15 seconds, stirring constantly. Add mushrooms and cook 3 minutes or until tender, stirring frequently, using two utensils as you would with stir-fry. Spoon equal amounts over beef and return to oven to keep warm.
To skillet, add coffee, vinegar and remaining 1/4 tsp salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, continue to boil 4 or so minutes or until reduced to 1/4 cup. Spoon over all and top with additional coarsely ground black pepper, if desired.

3/4 cup all-purpose flour
Pinch of salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 large eggs
1/2 cup reduced-fat margarine, at room temperature
1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/3 cup ground almonds

Lightly grease the base of an 8-inch non-stick baking pan and line with parchment paper.
Sift the flour, salt and baking powder together. Beat the eggs until they are light and frothy.
Beat the margarine and sugar together until smooth and creamy. Add the beaten eggs gradually, beating well between each addition. If the mixture shows any signs of curdling, beat in a little of the flour mixture.
Stir in the flour mixture together with the ground almonds, almond extract and orange zest and mix lightly to a thick, fluid (but not runny) consistency, adding a little orange juice or water if necessary.
Pour into the prepared pan, smooth the top, and bake in the center of the oven for about 45-50 minutes, or until a skewer comes out clean when inserted into the center.
Strip off the parchment paper and leave the cake to cool on a wire rack.
