Technically, this should be 4.5 stars. I was expecting, based on the overwhelming response of everyone else, for this to be OUTSTANDING. Instead, it was just good (-My boyfriend would say "REALLY good.") I'm not sure where the sauce fits in with all this. The flavor seemed to clash with the steaks/cheese and we barely touched it. We could have saved money (wine) by not making the sauce and we would have been just as happy. In the unlikely event that I decide to make the sauce again, I would use a Port instead of a Cab (-which I used this time), and I wouldn't use the thyme - the flavor just wasn't good. Additionally, we only made two filets with the same amount of crumbles. Using that much crumbles on just two steaks is overpowering - next time we'll tone it back a little. I think that this is something that we will continue to make, but the recipe as presented needs a little tweaking for our taste.
