AWESOME! I added a little red wine vinegar to the sauce, and used gorgonzola cheese. DELICIOUS, we'll never make filet on a grill ever again :o)

    This makes a very flavorful, rich tasting steak. The goat cheese and drizzled vinegar glaze blend beautifully together. I grilled this in my cast iron pan and then transferred the whole thing to the broiler. No additional pans to wash and a nice easy recipe to follow. Thanks for sharing this delicious alternative to a plain steak done on the bbq.

    Absolutely gorgeous, really thought this would be way to much vinegar, sounded great but was skeptical. No need, absolutely perfect, it complimented the steak so well and really was just delicious. I have to say this is not just me, everybody said, wow, yummy. So if you make this really don't worry about the amount of vinegar, but I would suggest follow the recipe and leave it for a good 18 minutes as suggested, I left mine for a little bit longer. Wonderful and I will definitely be making agiain, such a lovely recipe, thanks for posting.

    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!

    This was very good! The sauce especially! It reminded us of the sauce over the filet at one of our favorite restaurants. The only difference is that they cut the filet halfway and stuff it with cheese. This would save the broiler step. I will make this again!

    This was ok. I wasn't expecting the sauce to be so sweet. I think if I make it next time I won't add any sugar. To my husband and I, the sauce really overpowered the steak.
