Thanks Alex for an excellent dinner recipe for a small and intimate Christmas dinner for three. Everyone raved about how delicious everything turned out. The steaks, potatoes, and the carrots each had a distinct and delicious flavor, expecially the carrots. My two guests wanted to know what was in the carrot dish because they had never had carrots like these before and went back for seconds. The steaks were cooked perfectly and had a great taste. The fingerling potatoes were a great accompliment to the overall dinner.

I would have tried to cook your dessert recipe, but one guest put in for a banana pudding. I just wanted to also tell you how relieved I was that the meal came out perfectly. There is nothing like trying something new for a holiday meal and not knowing if it is going to be a success or a complete failure. Your recipes were terrific and I hope more viewers try them. Thanks Again Alex. These recipes will be saved in my recipe folder!!

Helen

I have always been a firm believer in seasoning a steak throw it on the grill, cooking to a medium rare and only turning once. Alex showed me a new way. I couldn't see myself pan frying a steak ever. I skipped the potatoes and used a rib eye cut. It was to die for. Melt in your mouth and the sauce was perfect. I will not cook my steaks any other way. Change is good! Thanks Alex, you out did yourself on this one.

I love Alex's teaching method when she cooks, and while this recipe does take a while to make, it's certainly worthwhile. Set aside a good day for it. I went with Sunday Supper. I even included her candied carrots which is a separate recipe that was made with the steaks and potatoes.

The steaks, potatoes, and carrots received rave reviews from my family. I wasn't a fan of the peppercorn sauce however (and neither was my family, it was a bit overpowering, so I think I'm just going to make a mushroom sauce with similar ingredients from the sauce next time.

I tried to stay true to the recipe and it was delicious! I could not find brined peppercorns, so I used regular dried green peppercorns. Still turned out great! My only complaint is the broth (who really has veal broth lying around? so I subbed beef broth. Still turned out great! Hubby really liked it, even though I don't normally cook steaks in a pan so I had a hard time telling when then were done. It took longer than the recipe stated, even to get it to a medium rare.

I made this with her recipe for glazed carrots. Turned out great; we will make this one again!

I am not a steak person...at all! But, my husband of course is a steakaholic. He makes steak quite frequently, but never do I personally crave steak. Alex's show that featured this recipe had my mouth watering and DH and I just made the recipe. It was SO easy to make. The steaks were delicious, as were the potatoes, and most importantly, the SAUCE! It was absolutely amazing. We will be making this recipe again very soon. I can't believe how delicious it is... wow!!!

Followed the recipe, w/o changing stuff along the way, which is very unusual for me. So yummy...strip steak so tender and flavorful. Can't afford strip steak too often...so for my encore dinner, I made large Salisbury steaks (chuck hamburger for a follow-up dinner....the green peppercorn sauce was great on the burgers. I bought a little beef suet and rendered the fat to fry with the burgers to get extra flavor, so the sauce and potatoes wouldn't "suffer" from lack of steak fat.

Alex, you need to loosen up a little, you're a little to stiff from trying to be too perfect. Spend the day with Anne Burrell or Sunny Anderson to unleash your inner-kitten. I feel like I'm in the 3rd grade listening to you though, much like I do with Sandra Lee, something I hate...it's like I'm waiting for the nun to wrap my knuckles in case I mess up. You're right on the money with your apprecition for wonderful tasting food!

It was sooo yummy. My husband used the cast iron skillet outside on the BBQ so we wouldn't have all the smoke and spatters in the house and it was wonderful. All evening during football he kept reminding me to put it in my personal recipe book se we didn't lose it. Welcome back Alex! You rank right up there with Ina for being a sure bet on any recipe.
