This really is worth all of the positive reviews! Very good. One word of caution as read from other reviews, do NOT put the balsamic reduction directly on the meat! Only use it as a compleiment to the meat, it's not a steak sauce.

We didn't have goat cheese, but had blue cheese. The combination of the blue cheese with the sweet balsamic reduction was very nice and I recommend this if you can't get or don't care for goat cheese. The filets cooked perfectly. Everyone enjoyed these, even the fussy kids. I prefer a less sweet sauce and will probably use less sugar next time, but everyone enjoyed it, so 5 stars. Thanks for the delicious recipe!
