    The sauce is delish. The cooking time was off for me though and came out way too rare.

    I was looking for a steak au poive recipe without cream......this is the one. Absolutely fabulous! I added diced mushrooms as another reviewer did....boy was that a nice touch. I was worried about how much brandy was called for, but I resisted the urge to reduce the qty. Boy I was so glad I used the right amount. Super easy and restaurant quality........This is a keeper. I will make it again and again!,,

    Another stellar recipe from Ina. This is so simple and yet amazing! My husband and I prefer our steaks medium to medium well so I seared the steaks in the pan for about 3 minutes per side and then put the entire pan in a 400 degree oven for just under 10 minutes. Came out amazing! I'll make twice the amount of sauce next time. It's delicious! Thanks, Ina!

    Dang, I even managed to forget the olive oil and used blackberry brandy and added mushrooms and it was delicious. I will remember the oil next time, use regular brandy and still add the mushrooms next time. I will also serve with bread to sop up the fabulous sauce. : I served sweet potatoe and a salad on the side. Garlic mashed potatoes would be great with this too.

    Delicious, easy and impressive. If you follow the recipe, you get a perfect MR every time. The sauce is great, so I tend to make a bit more than the recipe calls for. My husband says it's one of he best steaks he's ever had.

    I made this recipe tonight. It was terrific, it was the best steak I have ever had. The Shallots and cognac meld into a sublime flavor and the pepper punches through the sauce and beef flavors. Tender beyond belief. My only question is about the thickness of the tenderloin. I cut them to 1 1/4" as teh recipe says, but when I pressed them into the pepper, the flattened out to about 7/8", so I reduced the cooking time accordingly. The question is, are the steaks supposed to flatten out some? If I had cooked them for the prescribed time, they would have been medium well.

    My husband said it was the best meal I had ever made. The steak was
    unbelievably juicy and he loved the frites with it. He can't wait
    for me to make this wonderful meal again. Thanks Ina - love to watch
    your show!!!

    Super delicious and easy! I served with rosemary orzo and seared garlic asparagus. Make sure you have a meat thermometer! I undercooked mine :/
