It was very flavorful. I used rib eye steaks. Instead of brandy, I used cognac. Will make again.

I used whiskey instead of brandy and it did not taste well. However, I think it was the beef bouillon which made it taste nasty. Next time I will use beef broth like someone else suggested.

So good I wanted to lick the pan. I did get every bit off my plate though. I cooked the steaks in the pan and brushed them with butter. So, I didn't add any more butter. I didn't use brandy but used beef bullion instead. Since I used beef bullion broth and the browned bits in the pan I didn't add beef bullion separately. I did a half a recipe as well since I was only feeding 3 and I had leftovers to put on some pasta the next day. Will be making this again.

I made this recipe but made changes. Instead of 1 cup brandy and a bouillon cube - which is nasty tasting - I used 1 cup beef broth and 1 tablespoon brandy. I also let it boil for about 10 minutes and reduce before adding the cream. I also added the crushed peppercorns a little at a time and tasted as I went along. It's a nice combination of flavors.

I made this sauce with 1/2 the brandy and was still too thin. I liked the flavor but will tweak it next time and use much less liquid. Recipe makes a HUGE amount of sauce.

made the sauce to go with rib eye steaks. Did not use quite as much pepper as called for. The whole family really liked it. will make again.

We were inspired to try this recipe after seeing the show on Saturday morning. The tenderloin came out great but the sauce was disappointing. Maybe it was our error but we followed the recipe as it appears on the Foodnetwork site and sauce came out white and too thin plus peppercorns overpowered the flavor. If any other posters did anything different, we would love to know. Kind of an expensive recipe to get poor results!

Saw this on TV in the morning, made it that night. Easy with simple ingredients and wonderfully tasty. I did not have brandy on hand so I used whiskey instead, and it was great. Will be making this one again and again.

I liked this one! The sauce seemed to have a heavy brandy flavor but was still good.

This came out super peppery. I like that but I think next time would try something other than brandy, maybe even a marsala. I would also cut the amount of alcohol in half. I will go just a bit lighter on the dijon or use a higher quality dijon. It is good and it makes A LOT.
