I made this yesterday and I thought it was lame. I followed the recipe exactly as printed. It was edible, but I cannot fathom all the 5 star reviews for this.

I picked this out after watching the preparation on Robin Miller's show. I happened to still have the episode on PVR, so I watched the show again. Lo and behold, the ingredients and preparation are different on the show, versus as documented on the web. On the TV Ms Miller adds equal part beef stock and wine, plus she cooks the mushrooms before adding the onions.

Call me picky, but I think it's important that the recipes posted should match what they show on TV, and if different they should note the differences.

I made carmelized onions and served on top of the mushroom sauce (omitting the pearl onions and then I used rib eye because I had it and cooked it with garlic, YUM!
Enjoy!

This recipe is awesome, like others I agree that it's a great change from the usual and still tastes like home-cooked comfort food. I didn't use flank steak but rather thicker cut steaks that I found on sale. If you change the meat cut, just make sure you cut the meat into pieces before you place it on top of the polenta like we did, that way you're not constantly mushing the polenta as you slice and eat. The sauce was rich and tasty. Great stuff!

This recipe was delicious! My family enjoyed the change! Even my 2 yr. old loved the sauce and kept dipping the polenta in it! We made the steak sandwiches the next night and they too, were great! Thanks!

The taste of the meal was good..I liked the change from the regular starches I usually cook by using the Polenta. However, the recipe says that it makes 4 servings!? The men in my family were not thrilled when I presented them 4oz of meat for dinner.

This meal was great and easy to make. I grilled the steak and polenta on my George Foreman grill. I didn't have merlot on hand so just used what I had and used presliced button mushrooms instead of the dried. It was fabulous and I'll make it again.
