Not sure if no one has had the time to make this, or maybe they're just scared to try it, but this recipe really meshed well together. The sauce went really with the dish as a whole..I personally chose filet mignon that i pan seared 2-3 mins on each side, then into the oven at 400 for 15. Wouldn't have this every night obviously, but it was a really refreshing change from the norm.
