These taste great, even without the sauce! Good served with buttered sliced carrots. From Woman's Day magazine. The English and French both used lots of cream in their recipes.

I love this recipe because not only is it quick/easy to make, its got so much flavor. Its absolutely delicious. I think the cream sauce is a must for this. I did add just a little worsceshire to my meat. This will definitely be a repeat meal for my house!!!

These were wonderful!! I made as is apart from doing a mix of beef broth and brandy and doubling the sauce (glad I did). I also had some mushrooms to use up so I added those as well to the sauce. The sauce was absolutely delicious. I loved not only the garlic flavour in the patties, but also pressing the peppercorns onto the outside gave a wonderful taste with every bite. The sauce would also be delicious served over steak, but what a fab way to make a gourmet meal on a budget, by using ground beef. Even cheaper for me as it was on half price at the store, bonus. We ate extremely well on 6 francs as I had all the other ingredients on hand. I served ours over mashed potato with spinach and carrots, yum, yum. A great recipe Sharon!!

Excellent! Fast and easy to prepare. I made it without the cream sauce and it was delicious. I grated Asiago cheese over the finished steak right before serving.

Both the meat patties and the sauce are very good! I used flat-leaf parsley as that is what I had on hand. I didn't have any brandy in the house so I chose the beef broth option but will definitely try brandy next time. This has everything going for it: full of flavor, easy to make, quick, and attractive. Thanks for posting!
