We did not enjoy this recipe at all! I used organic grass fed ribeyes and cooked them med rare before flaming in sauce. They still came out well done and no one enjoyed the flavors. Expensive letdown.

The recipe calls for "beef aromatics" but doesn't elaborate as to what they are. I just marinated with some whisky and beef broth along with the herbs. I couldn't find Irish whiskey at Mr. Walton's store, so I used Canadian whisky instead. The flavor of the sauce was very good. The recipe makes quite a lot of it, so I served the steaks with roasted potatoes and put the sauce over everything. My husband said to recommend using a less tough cut of meat than sirloin. I give this three stars because of the meat recommended and the lack of specifics in the recipe. I may make this again.
