This came out very tender. However, I think we would have liked it better off the grill. Also, I thought I saw on the site that other reviewers had added a bit of brown sugar to offset the strong balsamic taste. My youngest said it was sweet. I really think I would have liked it better without the sugar.

This was good but not great. Based on the other suggestions, I grilled the meat & made the glaze on the stovetop. I sauteed some minced garlic in olive oil THEN added the vinegar & wine. After reducing I drizzled it on top of meat. I'd like to see more depth to the flavor of the sauce. Next time I'd use some butter instead of Olive Oil.

I had to double the recipe but in doing that it made way too much sauce.... and I didn't think the cook time for the meat was long enough. The people I was cooking for like their meat well done so it took alot longer than I expected.

I was pretty disappointed in this recipe. I love vinegar, but it was very overpowering. I also found the stovetop cooking method inferior to grilling. I can see where some might enjoy it, but it's not for me.

Just a note that this recipe works great with other cuts of beef! I used this glaze for good ole' London Broil! It was delicious! I marinated it overnight and added chopped fresh garlic and worchestire sauce to the sauce, along with brown sugar. I also added some meat tenderized shortly before cooking. A delicious glaze!

Other than adding a tablespoon of brown sugar to the glaze and reducing it after the steak was cooked, I followed this recipe exactly. I did have reservations about cooking a Filet Mignon on the stovetop but once I took my first bite they were all gone! It was heavenly (my husband agreed) and I am looking forward to making this again.

This was DELICIOUS and I'm not much of a red meat eater. I eat red meat MAYBE once/month. I did make a couple of changes: - I used sirloin steak because I couldn't afford filet mignon. - I did first season the meat with adobo instead of using just salt. - I used Al Jerez (Sherry) Vinegar because I didn't have balsamic vinegar - I used Beringer Cabernet Sauvignon - I mashed one clove of garlic and rubbed it into the meat after seasoning with adobo - I doubled the wine/vinegar mixture and let the steak marinate in it overnight. - I didn't cook the steak in the sauce, I grilled it on my little George Forman grill. - I added 1 teaspoon sugar to the sauce and then let it simmer with sliced portobello mushrooms until it reduced in half - I served it with Smothered Green Beans and Honey Roasted Red Potatoes both found on this site. ABSOLUTELY SUPERB!

I can't comment on the preparation of the steaks in this recipe, as hubby grilled ours outdoors over charcoal. I do have to say, however, that I would never simmer the filets in the reduction. In my view that's a good way to ruin very expensive filets! Having said that, I guess what I'm reviewing here is the balsamic/wine reduction which was just too simple to be that good! Richly flavorful and syrupy, and to think all you have to do is mix up a GOOD red wine and a GOOD balsamic vinegar and simmer it until it reduces about 75 percent. This was as good as any fancier or difficult glaze or reduction than I've ever made or eaten at fine restaurants. This definitely will be something I'll remember to make again.

We chose this to go with cheese fondue. We made this exactly as per the recipe without alterations. The flavor was fabulous, especially in combination with the flavor of the fondue, but I could not get the vinegar/wine mixture to cook down into a true glaze - it simply evaporated. Will definitely make this again, and make a few alterations to try to get it do cook down a bit into a true glaze

not complicated. never did become a glaze. don't waste your money on filet mignon. it will taste exactly the same with a much cheaper cut. wrong choice to try for a special meal. this is much more everyday.

This glaze was excellent! I used a cheaper cut than filet mignon, which made no difference, I'm sure, except to my wallet. I also subbed red wine for half of the balsamic vinegar to give a little more complexity to the sauce. Very good!

The balsamic glaze is what makes this recipe fantastic! Like fellow reviewers I grilled the steaks and made the glaze separately. I also followed the advice of doubling the balsamic, adding a clove of minced garlic and a tablespoon of brown sugar. Definitely a winner!
