This is a 5 star PLUS recipe! I've made this dish twice, and each time it was superb. My husband -- who is my biggest fan and most constructive critic -- commented both times that it was the best steak "we've" ever made, cooked to absolute perfection! While the fillets are "standing," I add about 2 tablespoons red wine or brandy to the butter and drippings remaining in the skillet. If you deglaze the pan with this, it makes a lovely sauce to drizzle atop the sliced fillets.

Excellent. We cooked the entire loin so it took longer.

Using Olive oil (instead of Veg oil) and Penzey's Mignonette pepper (instead of fresh ground). Less butter. Bacon wrapped filets. I absolutely adored this, though the kids were a bit less than thrilled. So juicy and flavorful! When you can't grill - this is the way to go.

I prefer steak on the grill but this was pretty good. Used more butter and cooked to medium rare.

Chateaubriand is a classic french dish. This is not it. Do not be misled, while you may or may not like the recipe it is not Chateaubriand. If you would like to try the real thing, you won't be disappointed. While the recipe may vary, the basics of this dish are a pan seared centercut tenderloin cut into filets after cooking served with a Tarragon Bernaise sauce. Anything else is not Chateaubriand.

This recipe was extremely easy and very good. With added seasoning and sauce to top it off I was very impressed, as were my family and friends.

What a great, simple way to have a steak! When its too cold or I'm just too tired to cook it on the grill, this is the way I like it best. I didn't change a thing.

Well, I have mixed feelings as far as this recipe goes. Yes what was left of it tasted great, but I'm just not sure that it was worth the second degree burns... there should be a couple warnings added to the recipe like 1) use ONLY THIN steak. 2) never cover it. 3) don't cut the meat to check for level of rarity. 4) most importantly, don't do all these things at once THE MEAT WILL EXPLODE IF THESE WARNINGS ARE NOT FOLLOWED CAUSING EXTREME BURNS!!! (other than that, it tasted ok)

Ok, after all the reviews, I thought this would be awesome. It tasted like butter and completely ruined a filet I had. I will go back to only grilling steak.

Absolutely delicious! I pan grilled some canned pineapple slices and serve them with the steak, and i think they went really well together.

AWESOME. I followed the instructions exactly and the fillet tasted like the last one I had at Taste Of Texas restaurant! It is so simple, yet so delicious. If you love a good steak dinner, you must try this. I've shared this with everyone I know and am getting rave reviews. Another reviewer suggested making a sauce - so I did and served it on the side. I just added a couple of tablespoons of Merlot wine to the steak pan, scraped up the crusty fon and let it reduce a little. Outstanding. Rayna you are very gracious for sharing this with your All Recipes friends.

Delicious! Restaurant Quality! To make it a bit more like the famous steak house (R.M.'s) we use more butter.

This recipe blew me away! I didn't think making such slight changes to cooking method would make that big a difference, but it did! I followed the instructions to a "T", and enjoyed a perfectly cooked, steakhouse quality meal. Thanks for sharing your expertise, Rayna!

Absolutely awesome! This is top-dollar restaurant material. The crispy texture is perfect for the yummy, tender center. And I LOVE the fresh ground pepper taste! Perfect on it's own, though would be good with a sauce, I'm sure. Thanks, Rayna!
