WOW. I've had many steaks in my lifetime ranging from Diner to 5 star quality.. I honestly think that this recipe beats a majority of the stuff that is served at restaurants (low and high class).. The food tastes wonderful. It's not overly flavorful, though the flavors do compliment the steaks nicely. I made this dish with mashed potatoes for my mother as a surprise, and needless to say she was quite surprised. We were well fed for the evening. Thank you for a very wonderful meal and recipe. I will share this with friends and family.

OMG this was so good! The sauce was amazing...even though I overcooked my steaks a little (my fault) it didn't matter becuase the sauce is amazing. You can't go wrong with this recipe and it is super easy!!

Barb this is so good!!! The flavors were incredible and the meat was SO tender. Followed your directions exactly and it was perfect. This was the first steak I've made on the stove that turned out good!

this is the way i always make filet mignon, but these babies were so thick i had to cook them a few minutes longer per side. we liked the sauce, i am liberal with the sherry as it helps deglaze the pan. this was a special dish for my dd who is home from college for the holiday, she just loved it!
