    Deliciousness! The steaks were perfectly cooked and the Roquefort Chive sauce was light and was such a complement to the steak. Yum yum!!! Sent a text message with photo to a friend. Now have a dinner party planned! RE: Fleur de sel...didn't really notice much of a difference, except the fineness seemed to make it melt on the meat. It was truly an amazing meal. My husband is still raving about it!

    At the time I made this I did not have fleur de sal so I did cut-back on the salt as was recommended. Since this was my first time making the recipe I did not splurge on butcher filets, but rather used the grocery store pre-wrapped variety. They were amazing, I now found the fleur de sel and next time I will splurge on butcher steaks. As always Ina this wowed my dinner guests.

    I followed the instructions exactly, with the exception of the cheese sauce.. a couple of tips
    - many reviews indicated that they got their house very smoky during the searing stage. i let my cast iron dutch oven heat up for about 20 minutes on low to medium. I did the searing on medium and never turned it to high. i got no smoke whatsoever during this stage.
    - i used a 2 inch filet
    - many reviews have indicated the dish was too salty, and my guess is that they were not using Fleur de Sel. my recommendation would be to find a way to get the Fleur de Sel. you can buy it on-line.
    - i put the steak in the oven for 15 minutes. it was about 120 - 125. once it sits for 10 minutes, it gets up to 145, which is good for medium rare.
    - i didn't make the cheese sauce because i like steaks straight up, and it was still amazing.
    this is a restaurant quality steak for less than 1/2 the price. nicely seared on the outside, juicy on the inside. the best part is that it's ridiculously easy to make.

    This was my first time ever cooking steaks, and they turned out perfect. To avoid the smoke problem, I coated the bottom of my cast iron dutch oven with about two tablespoons of vegetable oil, then heated it on the stove before searing the steaks. If you have a probe thermometer, this recipe is completely foolproof. It tastes just like a high-quality steakhouse steak, but at a fraction of the price.

    Cooking this filled the whole apartment with smoke, but the steak turned out great. I used white Stilton in the sauce instead of Roquefort, and it was just delicious.

    Extremely salty and the smoke was so thick we had to step outside and put the exhaust fan on in the garage - BUT the steaks were amazingly juicy and flavorful - I would definitely try this recipe again but reduce the salt by at least half.

    These steaks turned out wonderful, but it was just a bit too salty for my taste, but only a little, (but it certainly didn't ruin it. It was easy to make and shop for. I highly recommend making this!

    Best steaks I have ever had. I love salt and kept the recommended amount but reduce the Fluer De Sel if you're having guests and aren't sure.
