We are not big beef fans.... but boy did we LOOOOVE this! I doubled the amount of sauce, and will do so EVERY time from here out... it is just too good to not have extra. I served this with Creamy Parmesan Broccoli and they suited each other perfectly!

My wife really loved these, but I didn't detect anything special about them.

Lorac, this was wonderful. I just adore balsamic vinegar and in this recipe it beautifully counters the richness of the parmesan cheese, egg yolks, butter and cream. I doubled the sauce ingredients, added lightly sauteed sliced mushrooms, and served the dish over freshly cooked pasta, garnished with a little chopped parsley. A dish fit for a king!

What a way to make ground beef taste gourmet! This is spectacular! I followed the directions as written, but served the pattie on a large piece of garlic toast with the sauce drizzled over. My DD was standing next to me while it cooked drooling, she could not wait for it to be done. The patties are fantastic, and the sauce is heavenly. This will be made often in our house. A definite MUST TRY recipe!
