Made these for dinner last night and was very impressed on how easy it was to make and it was also very good. The only thing that I missed was the chargrilled taste you get from the grill. I think next time I will start it out on the grill for a couple mins just to get the nice outer crispness then finish it in the skillet. also I think I will use another red wine only had merlot on hand and you couldnt really taste it. Other than that it was very good. Thanks to the creator! Now the test is to see if my anti-steak eating husband will eat it!!

Awesome. We followed the recipe exactly as it stated. It turned out good, one word of warning, when you light it on fire be careful! we didn't know it would make such a huge flame right off the bat! haha! thanks for a great recipe!

Very tasty! Note to self - make sure you flame the brandy before adding the cream. Also- too much peppercorn.

I followed the recipe accordingly and it wasn't that great. The steak wasn't very flavorful and there was not much sauce. However since it received such good rating, I will give it another try. Next time I'll use sirloin instead of market steak and put more peppercorn on it. I may even sear the meat first so that it has a nice crust and then make the sauce.

This recipe was was WONDERFUL! The sauce, WOW! My 6 year old and and my husband loved it. We were done with our steak and looking for other things to enjoy the sauce with...we smothered our baked potatoes in it! This is my first review but I am so glad I waited to do it for this recipe :) I used to love in Europe for 13 years and this brought back so many memories! I will be making this over and over again!

Excellent! Fiance LOVED this and said I can make this ANYTIME. And I got a kick out of lighting the contents of the pan on fire!haha My only change next time is to cook the steaks 6 minutes on each side...I did 7 on one and 8 on the other and it was just a tad bit more done than we usually order (we like medium).

This was very good and different. I did not have brandy so I substituted Southern Comfort. Bourbon would work well too.

This was definitely a restaurant quality steak! It was awesome. It really WOWed my husband! I felt like a gourmet cook after making this. I used whiskey as I didn't have brandy and it worked out just fine. I also used a light cream. Next time I will use less pepper it was quite a lot.

I liked this dish, but found it difficult to cook steak the way I like it in the frying pan. You have to time it just right when putting in the alcohol and lighting it on fire. Steak ended up being almost medium well and I like my steak medium rare. Will adjust next time. Also, the sauce was a little bland so next time I will add something (maybe garlic powder) at the end to give it a little more zip. I used Jim Beam Bourbon which gave it a yummy taste. Would be awesome with mashed potatoes. Thanks for sharing!

I made this last night. It was "the best". Very classy too!! I made it exactly as instructed and have no reason to change a thing. I usually don't prepare steaks at home because they sometimes don't turn out as I would like. With the price of a good steak possibly not turning out to perfection, I'd rather go to a restaurant and have them fix it, then be disappointed. This steak recipe is one I will make over and over again.

What a wonderful steak! I used coarsely ground pepper and not as much as called for (personal preference), and I added a basket of mushrooms (I like to slice my own into thirds). Next time I will reduce the sauce a bit more. I think just boiled little red potatoes would be great with this! I would never sacrifice a good cut of meat, no matter how it is cut! (Costco!) As my husband says after a successful attempt at a meal, this is a KEEPER!

I tried this recipe tonight..and I was really looking forward to this...not sure what I did wrong....but I did not like it......the only thing I can think of, is that I bought a thick cut sirloin and maybe it cooked too long for the wine and garlic in the pan?? I might try again with thinner steaks, which is why i will give this 2 stars instead of 1.

Excellent! I added the mushrooms as some others recommended. The steaks were very tender and juicy, even the kid that never eats steak ate a small portion of this and liked it. I did all my dicing and chopping while I had baked potatoes in the oven, cooked these once I had them out and resting. Very good, will keep this in mind for when we have adult company to impress!

This was EXCELLENT!!! This is the best steak recipe I have tried so far! I loved the sauce; I simply added some mushrooms, and let the sauce simmer a while longer. I also used coarse ground pepper instead of the crushed peppercorns. I used bourbon instead of brandy, which worked just fine. Make sure you use a household lighter (the torch kind) to light the steaks, or else you'll set your hand on fire. I served this with boiled spinach and balsamic red potatoes to absorb the extra yummy sauce. My husband was very impressed! A+++! Thank you so much!
