    I made this for my Dad and he loved it. I cooked what I think was a 6 ounce piece on 7 [medium high] for exactly 5 minutes on each side, quickly searing around the sides as well. This made it about medium rare to medium. A couple of things I learned the hard way: Because I only made one steak, I only used a half ounce of brandy and this wasn't enough. The alcohol burned off before I could light it. Also, beware this creates a lot of smoke. My house smelled like smoky steak for hours afterward and the kitchen was pretty smoky. In any case, this was a hit. Thank you Danny!

    This was delicious. I would recommend melting the butter and pouring it over the steak. I was not able to get the brandy to light but it still gave a nice flavor. Next time I will look into what I did wrong. Overall, we were pleased.

    Delicious recipe. The chive butter adds sophistication to the presentation of the steak.

    OMG! The first time I saw this recipe, I thought it sounded wonderful, and it is more than wonderful, .... I made it on Monday night and it was.......delightful, superb, orgasmic?........... infact it was sooo delightful that I had to make it again tonight! Get yourself a meet thermometer, and cook it to 120 degrees for rare, when it rests it will get to medium rare........ simply delightful. I would recommend an Argentinian wine called Conquista Malbec...... also I did add like a shake of onion powder and garlic powder to the chive butter....... sooooo yummy!

    DO NOT OVER COOK YOUR BEEF!

    I tried this recipe a few weeks ago, albeit without the Brandy, and it was wonderful. My family loved it, my mother-in-law said it was the best filet mignon she ever had, and it was certainly the best I ever made. Unless I find another recipe I like better, which is unlikely this will be the only one I use for filet mignon. It was incredibly easy and quick, and I am using it again tonight.

    Does the type of brandy make a difference?

    This is the perfect easy recipe for a stay-in date night. I always splurge for some super tender filets from Fresh Market. The chive butter is excellent for taste and the flambé was a fun experience to do together.
