Oh my gosh. That's all I have to say. This recipe was super easy and the steaks came out super juicy and flavorful. Just as good (and cheaper than going out to a steakhouse. I had thinner steaks than Ina did on the show so my steaks cooked quite a bit faster for medium. I'm shocked these came out of my kitchen.

Also, I didn't have a cast iron skillet so I tried them in a regular non-stick skillet and finished them off on a pre heated cookie sheet in the oven. They came out just as awesome!! I didn't make the cheese sauce but these were not lacking in any way.

Ina, every recipe of yours I try comes out beautifully and you make me look like a master chef. Hats off to you!!

Try this, you wont be dissapointed!!

This recipe is just fabulous! I used Murray River salt from Australia and it worked out just fine. Let's face it, we all have different taste buds for salt in any recipe is personal. As far as smoking up the house...don't you have ventilation fans over your stoves? You might try using it. And now for Christine from Warren, NJ...sour grapes I say! You were probably the kind of kid that was jealous of every kid that got something you didn't! I don't live in the Hampton's but I can afford a filet now and again. I'm happy for people that have it better than me and love to see how they live and people that have less than me keep me grounded. I don't know of any 5 star eatery that you could get this cheaper for than making it at home. In your case Christine, go see a funny movie and try to smile! It's a great life if you don't weaken!

My finace' and I rarely eat beef, but we do enjoy it once in a while. I am an accomplished cook, but I learned something new from this recipe. Finishing the filets in the oven and letting them rest for 10 minutes made all the difference (normally I would only have let them rest for 3-5 minutes. They were a perfect medium rare, and oh so buttery. Even without the sauce these were the very best filets I have ever cooked, and better than almost anything I have eaten in a restaurant. I did go a little easier on the salt than suggested, which did not detract at all from the wonderful flavor. This one's a keeper!

Steaks were incredible! I like my steaks well done, so I did follow the directions exactly until the point when you put them in the oven. I kept them in the oven for about 25 minutes with the butter on top, covered with the lid (came with my cast iron fryer - very handy. For the salt - I used sea salt (I don't remember the brand, but I did use almost the amont Ina used. Sea salt is milder than regular Table or Kosher salt, so it doesn't taste too salty. Sauce was out of the world too. I used Danish Blue cheese instead of Roquefort. That was my first attempt to cook with Filet Mignons and I am very happy with the results.

After reading the reviews on this recipe, I cut the salt in half and the steak still turned out too salty. I think I will just lightly salt and pepper the filet mignon next time, and I'm sure it will turn out as intended. On the bright side, I think the salt and pepper really made the filet mignon tasty as this cut can be bland sometimes in a restaurant. Barefoot Contessa is still my favorite show on Food Network!

This was one of the best steaks I have had. Can't believe
I made this myself at home. I used inexpensive strip steaks on sale at my supermarket and a Danish blue cheese since my small grocer didn't have Roquefort. It was still excellent! I used salt and pepper on both sides of the steak and rubbed it in the oil. It was not too salty. I put them in the oven for 2-3 minutes (1 1/2" steaks and they were the perfect medium rare. The sauce was delicious. My husband has a lot of client steak dinners at great restaurants and my inexpensive steak he proclaimed amazing. I am done with grilling steaks outside! P.S. After reading other reviews, I turned my cooktop exhaust fan on high before putting the steaks in the hot skillet - no problem with smoke.

I made the entire meal from this episode and I must say it was super! The only problem I encountered was my steaks started smoking in my hot cast iron skillet to the point of setting off my fire alarm. Did anyone else have this problem? What did I do wrong. All in all the meal turned out great but I may resort to cooking the steaks on the grill outside in the future.

Great way to cook steak - if you saw the show, she says to cook for about 7-8 mins in the oven. This is about right on for the 1.5" rib eyes that I used.

If you use rock salt, it will be super salty - you can use the same amount of table salt and you will have a better steak,,,,

This is a great grill substitute!!

I made this recipe last night, and it was AMAZING! I don't own cast iron, so I used a regular nonstick skillet. I seared the steaks and then put them on a cookie sheet in the oven. I left the steaks in the oven for 15 minutes and they were a perfect medium well. They were juicy and flavorful and perfect. You are making a HUGE mistake if you do not let them rest for at least 10 minutes. That is not a skippable step!
