Allrecipes Community Tips and Praise

"This was outstanding," raves ILuvSoup. "I made it for a romantic dinner and it turned out so flavorful and delicious — it really enhanced the flavor of the filets! I didn't use a non-stick pan, so I did sear them in a little bit of olive oil, but other than that, I made these as written."

"Great recipe," says Susan Alburtus. "I doubled the sauce and it came out great. Wonderful, easy recipe that makes you look like a gourmet cook!

"This was delicious," according to peachz21. "I added minced garlic and sautéed mushrooms to the sauce and cooked until it was a thick glaze."
