When following the recipe exactly there was waaaay too much butter which resulted in a greasy, tasteless sauce. Wish I had read the reviews before giving this one a try...

I made this yesterday for my annual home Christmas party for several friends. I followed the recipe exactly and it was a big hit. Today I sliced the leftover filets and heated them in the leftover sauce and it was even better the second day. This is my new favorite.

My husband and I loved this recipe. Will definitly make this again. It's a nice change from just grilled tenderloin.

This recipe didn`t work for my family. I followed the recipe exactly, except of using white wine instead of mirin, but I didn`t get the sauce at all. The butter evaporated and there was only shiitake mushrooms in the oil. The meat with this sauce didn`t have a flavor at all. I have tried some Ryan`s recipes and all of them were fabulous, but this... Sorry.

Good stuff! I cut my steaks from a whole tenderloin so they were not exactly filet, but close. I followed the recipe exactly - and had some trouble with the cooking time/temperature when browning the butter sauce. I think next time I would do my steaks last after the sauce was done because I was afraid they would get too done waiting in the oven - or too cold waiting outside of it. The butter took much longer to brown than stated, and my mushrooms, garlic, and ginger were a little overdone by the time it came together. Great flavor, I'll just need to play with the logistics a bit next time. Thanks!

I think this would be very good, but I used Costco tenderloins, which are basically mini roasts, and I didn't cook them long enough...had dinner for 10 and everyone loved it; I was the only one disappointed. Definately double or triple step 3. Will definately try again.

The best steak I have ever cooked. LOVED it! I used plum wine and reduced the butter by just a little. Served over filet mignon that we cooked rare on the grill. Highly reccomended!!

Fantastic! We'll be making this time and time again. Recipe perfect as is. Used venison and my mouth is just watering thinking about making it again!

I was very pleased with how this recipe turned out. The flavor was wonderful. The only change I made is that I used Cremini mushrooms instead of Shiitake. I couldn't find mirin in the wine section of my neighborhood grocery store. I eventually found it in the Asian products section. The bottle doesn't use the word wine, the product, from Kikkoman, is called "Aji-Mirin" and is defined as Sweet Cooking Rice Seasoning on the label. I hope this helps.

I got to admit that I was skeptical of this recipe...I've never cooked Tenderloin in the oven being a die hard grill guy. It turned out fantastic!! We enjoyed the sauce, but it almost was too buttery for my taste. All in all very good and would recommend. PS Don't tell my grill buddies about using the oven. ^_^
