Reviews
This was really good , however i added a tablespoon of flour to the peppercorn sauce to thicken it up , otherwise its really thin . And added mushrooms
My husband grilled the steaks to his own recipe, as I’ve never, ever, tasted better than his. I made the sauce and followed the recipe exactly, except that, knowing Ree, from cooking many of her recipes, we cut the peppercorns in half. The sauce wasn’t as rich or thick as we expected it to be. The heat was still just a little too much. Unfortunately, this will never be a favorite with us.
This was a great steak recipe!! We have some shellfish allergies so I left out the shrimp and the brandy and the sauce was still amazing. It made sooo much!! Next time I will cut down on the portions. The steak was well cooked medium-medium well and very tender!!
Spent a lot of money on basics that were absolutely ruined!!!
Amazing!
Made these steaks for Father’s Day and they were hit. The sauce was amazing.
This meal was wonderful. High-end restaurant quality. I’ll use this sauce as a starter for variations, too – mushrooms, caramelized onions, etc.
my sauce was a little too runny and I followed the recipe as is
This recipe was so delicious and so easy to make! We are a family of five and everyone loved it! I will definetly be making this again
Hubby made this for me on Mother’s Day it was absolutely amazing. I am not one for sauce on my steak but this was outstanding!! Definitely will be making this again and again!!
