At first I didn't understand what all the hype was about. The sauce tasted so so. Something happened though, as I kept eating it, and my husband agrees with this, the flavor got better. At the end of our meal we found that we really enjoyed it. Thank you so much for posting the recipe.

It bugs me when people change ten things and then rate a recipe 5 stars. That said, I changed a bunch of stuff and am rating this 5 stars! That's because the the technique outlined here would produce great results regardless of the changes I made. I didn't have any of the fresh herbs, so I left them out (didn't want to attempt with dry herbs as I think they would just burn). ALso I had no veal demi glace (shocker) so I used plain old beef broth. Otherwise followed recipe, and it was nearly as amazing as the fancy restaurant dish that made me want to try this. One major tip though, unless you have high ceilings and a good metal range hood, take the pan outside to add the brandy/ignite. I was really glad I did when I saw the 8 foot flames shoot up! The sauce comes out a little salty, but soooo good, and the restaurant's version was salty too, so I think that is how it should be.

We had fun making this one. It was the first time we had ever intentionally ever lit anything on fire in our kitchen! LOL! I would stop after the fire step and NOT use the cream. It made the steak heavy and added an unnecessary flavor.

I enjoyed an easier depiction of this recipe. Using olive oil and butter instead of clarified butter. And using beef bouillon instead of veal demi-glace. It came out very good, and the flaming brandy is a nice touch.

This was very good! Demi-glace is a bit hard to find--I ended up going to a smaller grocery store to find it. I halved the salt, used margarine instead of butter, and used half and half. It was a little bit salty, but that's because I didn't "clarify" the margarine. To ignite the brandy, I lit the end of an uncooked linguine noodle and put the tip in the sauce. I also made the roux, but thought the sauce was thick enough after adding the half and half. I used the top round steak, which ended up a little tough. I would suggest buying a better cut. The sauce was SO good, though, that the meat toughness almost didn't matter!

Have made similar brandied steaks but the flavor of the oil in these is much better. Will not use round steak - much too dry. Prefer strip loin or sirloin. Certainly impressive company fare. Thanks.

Although this is a bit of work and takes time to make the demi-glace from scratch it is well worth it. Everyone loved it and I will most definitly make it again. Very tasty!
