This tasted fine but it was nothing special. It's not as time consuming as other reviewers stated, but still not worth the time.

This was by far the best steak I have ever prepared. This recipe must be prepared in stages start your peppercorn sauce at least 3 hrs before your dinner is expected, you can prepare the rest of your meal while you wait for your sauce to thicken follow my steps and you won't go wrong. I started the peppercorn sauce first I let it simmer at a slow roll for about an hour after I added the heavy cream I stirred it frequently until it reduced to a creamy consistency. In a large skillet I sauteed portabello mushrooms, shallots, and onion until tender than added the whiskey, peppercorn sauce and dijon mustard( I added 2 tble spoons ). I allowed 1 to 1 1/2 hrs at a slow roll for this to thicken. It was fabulous! I also made the crab stuffing using 2 6oz cans of crab and 1/2 tsp of creole seasoning 1/2 tsp of old bay seasoning. I prepared the stuffing while the peppercorn sauce was simmering. I placed the stuffing in a small baking dish and refrigerated until I cooked the steaks I cooked in the oven @ 350 for 20 min it was divine!!!! As for the steaks, I seasoned with garlic powder, adobo, and cracked pepper. I did not wrap in bacon However, I cooked 4 thick sliced pieces and cut in large pieces I seared my steaks in a combination of olive oil and bacon grease well done 10 min each side. med 6 min each side. I also sauteed some additional potabello mushroom after the steaks were to my desired doneness I topped with sauteed mushrooms and thick bacon planks and than poured the sauce ov

I wasn't really crazy about this receipe. I made as is, but had a tough time frying the filets to the doneness that my husband likes. Next time, I will prepare the sauce, make crab cakes and cook my steaks like I normally do.

very good. I left out the crab stuffing. I seared my filets on the stove then baked at 350 for 15 minutes. Next time I will bake them alittle less they came out medium well. I would have preferred medium. THe sauce was very good. I did have to thicken it with corn starch at the end. I will defintly make this again

As so many others have said - this sauce is to die for, one of the best sauces I've ever had. I did most of the prep the day before so it didn't seem to take so long for the sauce. The filets turned out perfect and the crab stuffing gave it that restaurant quality. I fixed this for valentines day and could not have asked for a better main course. Thanks for a great recipe.

This recipe is delicious. I used jameson whiskey for the sauce, and it would be great on any cut of steak. The crab stuffing is tasty and would be great as it's own dish, or made with shrimp instead. I served with roasted red potatoes and lemon spritzed steamed broccoli. Will definitely make this one again!

This came out very salty for me. So much so, I couldn't even taste the stuffing in the meat. If I make it again, I will try a low-sodium broth. Thanks.

I know it's been said - but this sauce is to die for!! Yummm! Great dinner for entertaining in the kitchen - I had one prepare the crab stuffing - excellent on it's own! one guest prepped the steaks (I used the eye of ribeye's to save a little $$) and one made the sauce. A wonderful dinner party that took 2 1/2 hours to do - but worth every bite! Thanks for sharing!

Review for sauce and filet: It was delicious. I doubled the sauce like the other reviews said. Next time I may use a light cream instead of heavy cream. It does take awhile, but I knew that going in so it really didn't bother me. It's not a budget friendly meal, but the title says it has crab and filet so I prepared myself for that as well. I did use crab in the dish, but I didn't make the crab stuffing. I just put chunks of crab directly into the sauce then served the crab and sauce directly on top of the filet. I can't wait to make this dish again!

I have made this recipe twice (Christmas Day) and it turned out fabulous every time. I changed one thing - I made the whiskey peppercorn sauce the day before and reheated. Maybe for some of the experts, this is a no-no but it saved a huge amount of time and I got to enjoy the day much more.

This recipe is Amazing! I added Shrimp in with the crab mixture as well and used jalapenos instead of bell peppers. The sauce takes forever to make but it is well worth the wait! It would save time to start the sauce ahead of time instead of starting with the crab stuffing. Also, when the meat is finished and you return the sauce, mushrooms & Dijon mustard to the pan, it will take another 20 + minutes to thicken. I just added a little cornstarch! This is an excellent recipe that I will use over and over, when I have extra time! I also added Shrimp in with the crab mixture. Also, I only made two steaks but made the full amount of sauce for 4 steaks....We each had just the right amount of sauce, if you want more, double the sauce recipe.

I love this recipe and have made it many times. I agree with the last review that a good filet should be able to stand alone without a heavy sauce. That being said though, if you're looking for a little something extra, this is it! Worth the extra work and just as good as many of the 5 star restaurant steaks I've eaten! I usually skip the crab stuffing and just make crab cakes with it to accompany the steak or skip that part alltogether.

A bit disappointed. Maybe I was expecting to much...considering how time consuming it was. The sauce was very tasty, but it took far to much time waiting for half of it to boil down. My husband loves steak...and whiskey too...but this recipe was not a winner. He said..."A good steak such as a filet (prepared correctly) should not be covered in a sauce." I have to agree.You would be better off buying a NY strip or cheaper steak to make this. This recipe is worth trying at least once. But savor the flavor of a tender filet and don't waste it by covering it up with a heavy sauce.

AMAZING! Great for impressing someone special! So much flavor and if you follow some of the other tips on how to make this recipe go a little faster, check out some of the other comments... like start the sauce first. Those of you out there that are unhappy with prep time on some of these recipes do to all the chopping, you need to get one of those handhelp rotating choppers that are sold by pampered chef. I have also seen them at bed, bath, and beyond. Sooooo much quicker than by hand! Will definatley make this again!

This recipe is all about the sauce... I made this as a special treat for father's day for my husband, Dad and brother. They all agreed that the sauce was delicious. I did not really need to add the crab in the middle. Also, a like others said a cheaper cut of meat would be fine.. Next time I would not add the crab, get a different cut of meat and use a low sodium broth for the sauce because of the salt content. Overall a great and different recipe... You need to have time to make the peppercorn sauce.

4.5 stars... While the crab mixture was tasty, I just don't think it was necessary to stuff the filets with it. My guests didn't really taste it - I think it would be better on the side or crab cake style. I cooked the bacon 2 minutes, wrapped around the filet and threw on the grill 8 min. each side. I doubled the sauce, let it reduce almost 2 hours... it was fantastic. I think I put a little too much dijon in, but my guests were in awe of it. Yes, its time consuming... but just start the sauce and while that is reducing, do the rest. You can pre-stuff the filet, and get all your side dishes done in that waiting period and it really isn't too bad. Once you make it once, you'll realize you can work around it. Happy eating!

Made for Valentines day. Listened to the reviews and did the prep work ahead of time and started the sauce right at the beginning to let it simmer down. Really great. Will make the sauce again.
