Outstanding! I made this for hubby today and he really enjoyed it. I don't eat red meat so I can't comment on the flavour but the recipe was very easy to put together. I used filet of beef as stated, hubby tells me it was very tender cut. I wasn't able to find double cream or half cream so I used thicken cream. I substituted the brandy with a few drops of brandy essence & liquid beef stock. I served it with mash potatoes. After hubby ate this recipe he tells me he wouldn't bother to order this at a restaurant because his meal was perfect. Thank you The Flying Chef

Delicious and oh so easy! I cooked the steaks on the grill, but otherwise followed the recipe exact. A very flavorful sauce. We will be making this one again and again. Thanks for another keeper Flying Chef!

Absolutely wonderful. I made a few changes to what I had on hand - didn't have brandy so I used red wine, veg broth in place of beef stock and it still was fantastic. Used fillet mignon - what a treat. I'll make sure I have brandy next time as this will surely take it to another level. This is a keeper, thanks Flying Chef.

Yumbo, we loved this. I do have a couple of questions though...you have left out where to add the dijon, I guessed and added it at step 6,with the beef stock (3/4 teaspoon???, I added 1/4 cup). Apart from these relatively minor hiccups we really enjoyed this recipe. Served with Smashed Potatoes, asparagus and corn on the cob. A wonderful meal!!!

The only drawback for us was that the thyme was overpowering (fresh lemon thyme from the garden) would cut this back to about a teaspoon, other than that I subbed spring onion/scallion for the shallots due to allergy issues and had to use scotch whisky for the brandy. Only 2 of us had it over steak and the other 2 as a side as they preferred to have sausages to steak. Thank you The Flying Chef, made for Recipe Swap #20 - September 2008 as a recipenap.
