I was a bit disappointed because I used brandy but still did not get much of a flame. Adding mushrooms near the end is a good idea. I also used half and half instead of heavy cream and it was still very good.

Didn't have any brandy, so couldn't do the flame, but delicious anyways.

I must have used the wrong grade of sherry, because my recipe did not flame. The flavor is pretty good, but it was so tender!! I will play around with the recipe and let you know if I come up with something better...

This was a really wonderful recipe for a special dinner. I think next time I might cut down a little on the peppercorns, because it was quite a lot! I did not rub them into the piece of steak for my 7-yr-old, and she enjoyed it. The sauce was really tasty. We didn't have any brandy, so I just skipped that part. I considered using a different licqeur, but I was afraid I'd ruin the recipe. We really enjoyed having something so nice and different from our regular routine. Thank you!

This was awesome. I used cognac instead of brandy, and I seared the steaks on the grill before cooking them in the sauce. I added mushrooms, and I put them into the sauce with the shallots and green onions earlier than suggested in the recipe. We will definitely keep this recipe.

I did not use wine. I also did not use peppercorns, but ground fresh pepper onto the steaks and also used steak dust. I put an entire chopped onion all over the top to cook with the steaks. Used probably 1/3 cup heavy cream. Did use the sugar. Served it over jasmine rice. This was INCREDIBLE!!! My 3 kids, Grandma, and myself were fighting over the left overs!!! Can't wait till my husband gets home for me to make this for him! It's as good as any high class restaurant! Really!

Excellent recipe when you're looking for something special. My steaks had a thick pepper crust which was a little much, so I would use less pepper next time. Also remember to stand back when you light the brandy! Even with way too much pepper (which could have been my fault), I still give it 5 stars.

By far the EASIEST, restaurant quality dinner we have ever made. Enjoy having company over for this. Not only will they be impressed, but if you have everything pre-measured before they arrive, you can actually relax and enjoy yourself before AND while making this!

I found it easier to make the sauce if I removed the steaks after flaming them. This way the sauce can thicken and the steaks won't get overdone. I used 2 ribeyes and added 1 cup sliced mushrooms to the sauce.

With all the rave reviews all I can think of is that maybe I did something wrong - I can't imagine what though - maybe I just wasn't in the mood but I won't be making this again.

This came out very nice. I didn't add the cream because I am trying to cut out as much dairy as possible, which isn't easy. It tasted just fine without it. Everyone had seconds because I made a lot of steaks.

TRY THIS! TRY THIS! TRY THIS! Not only was this easy and delicious, but it was fun too. Made this for valentines day and it was one of the best meals i have ever cooked. I sauteed onion and portabello mushrooms on the side and added to the sauce before serving. It was a great addition. I served with prosciutto wrapped asparagus and microwave risotto also found on this site.

I made this today and as it was cooking, the aromas in the kitchen were wonderful! My fiance' and I took one bite of the delicious steak and sauce and are now hooked on this wonderful dish. He said it is definitely a "keeper", and I couldn't agree more! The only thing I changed in the recipe was to add mushrooms and I also doubled the yummy sauce. I served it with mashed potatoes and we put some of the sauce on top of them. Perfecto!

The steaks were beautiful but the flavor was a bit peppery and kinda blah. Do watch out for that first flare of the brandy, it can flare as much as 3 feet high initially but then simmers down & extinguishes rather quickly, saw a gal in a Greek restaurant light her hair on fire that way once. The sauce was delicious on the baked potatoes I served with, but lost something on the steak, my honey agreed.
