I've never cooked filet mignon on a pan before however, steaks were cooked perfectly to a medium/ medium rare following the timing Irvine provided. the mash potatoes were ridiculously delicious. i added a 1/4 cup of warm milk to smooth the potatoes. the reduction sauces was tasty ( i added the meat lard and all but i wish it was thicker. overall amazing meal for a special night! Thanks Irvine!

The potatoes were fantastic! Far and away the best I've ever had. Like an earlier poster, we cooked an entire lobster tail and cut it into chunks...although we diced it so that the texture would blend into the dish and not be quite so prominent...it turned out quite well.

A great meal...thanks for the recipe Chef!

I've 'borrowed' dozens upon dozens of recipes from Food Network and this was by far the best one to date. Made this for my wife and I for Valentine's Day and it turned out absolutely perfect. Used everything the recipe called for right down to the grapeseed oil and Boursin cheese. I can't even put into words how good this reduction sauce was. Mind blowing. If you want to come out of your kitchen looking like a rock star, make this recipe!!!

These potatoes were great. I did not use the grapeseed oil, I added milk while beating. The cheese, I used all of the container of Light Boursin...was wonderful. We had Filets, potatoes, green bean and carrots. Company was impressed with the potatoes. (a whole stick of butter, milk and container of cheese, won't do this weekly, but I recommed trying it

First, all that I made was the steak; I didn't make the potatoes. I was looking, last minute of course, for a really good steak recipe and this seemed to fit the bill. This recipe gives great instructions on grilling the steak, which I desperately needed. My husband said the steak was delicious. I did need to substitute a few ingredients as I didn't have all of the ingredients called for. I used just some basic red wine (but NOT cooking wine because I had no merlot, I used chicken broth as I had no beef stock, and I omitted the rosemary - I had none. I have no doubt that it would have been even more delicious had I used all of the proper ingredients. Beef stock would definitely added depth to the sauce. But, despite the substitutions, my husband said it was delicious.

Made this as the entree for my wife during our private Christmas dinner and was completely pleased. I substituted crab meat for the lobster and was very satisfied with the result. If you like the filets rare like us, skip the oven.
