First of all I am a trained chef and there is something wrong with this recipe. THe sauce tasted like wine and salt. It was way too runny to even coat the steaks. And the meat looked like it had been poached in wine. What a dissapointment and waste of good steak.

this is the way to cook filets...whether you use the entire sauce or add your own little touch -- searing it in the pan and then baking in the oven makes it perfect every time!

Made on New Year's Eve and it was completely perfect. Have made it over and over again.

The other reviews led me to make a few adjustments and the filets turned out great. Added only enough wine to give the sauce a little flavor; less than a quarter cup. Couldn't find demi-glace at the local Safeway, so I used an equal amount of a product called "Better than Bullion." My wife loved it. Docked a star because of the adjustments.

I bought a high quality demi glaze and even cut the wine to only a cup and a half and it still turned out too thin. Adding butter didn't help either. I would suggest not cooking with rosemary after roasting it in the oven as it overpowers a lot of the flavors needed in the glaze. Maybe if I reduced the wine a while longer it would have thickened and been a fantastic meal. I will definately try it again with my own tweaks and changes.

My husband and I loved this dish -- definitely a good choice to make for a romantic dinner or special occasion. And its pretty simple to make, too.

Loved the earthy flavor the mushrooms brought to the dish, and the wine reduced to just the perfect taste. But, I felt the sauce could have been a little thicker - as it was it was running all over the plate. Perhaps a little rue next time would solve this. Also felt (and this is after following the instructions to the T the meat was a bit overcooked (mine came out almost well done, so I plan to reduce both the searing and oven times next time to achieve that elusive medium-rare! Overall, a very rich and tasty dish, one I will definitely make again.
