Ina is my favorite chef, and her first 2 cookbooks are also among my favorites. This is the first recipe from her that I didn't love. Beef tenderloin (filet mignon is quite pricey, even on sale, I spent $31. on the beef, and $20. on the Ruffino Classico Chiante. I don't ever mind spending $ on great ingredients, however, I feel you can get similar results with the old beef bourgoignone recipe from Julia Child. This was a lot of work for just an average meal. I still love Ina's dishes, and she is still my favorite, but I am only giving this one 3 stars, and will not make again.

Overall, I enjoyed the flavor compared to a regular beef stew. I added baby white potatoes and boiled all the veggies ahead to cook them through a little more as suggested in other reviews. I used a cheaper cut meat--it would have been much better with the filet--but too expensive for me. Lots of steps and prep time. I probably won't make this again--or I would modify it and take out a few steps.

I cooked this for relatives and it was so good, it has a great rich beefy gravy. Was even better warmed up the next day. I had to use more liquid than the recipe calls for (extra can of beef stock. I think instead of onions, small diced potatoes would work great!

Ina has a unique and elegant way of preparation and presentation of cooking. This recipe was so unique using Fillet of Beef instead of stewing beef. It was EXCELLENT! I will repeat this one for sure!

My husband and I just loved this recipe! I read the reviews and was very pleased to incorporate some of the ideas. I too partly boiled the vegetables. That was a great idea. I didn't use a full teaspoon of salt, but almost. I think a full teaspoon would have been too much. For anyone wanting to use a cheaper cut of meat, you can't go wrong with a flat iron steak. The meat melts in your mouth and is about $1.80/lb. Don't let the cheap price fool you! You can't go wrong with this cut. I didn't even spend very much on the wine. I chose an Australian Shiraz. The sauce in this dish is to die for! I will definitely make this again and again.
