Added a little garlic and horseradish to the sauce with the shallots - put it with prime rib instead of tenderloin. Amazing!!!! We couldn't get enough of this and had a dark chocolate rimmed glass with port wine for dessert. The perfect meal!!!

I am not really much of a beef eater. This recipe makes me want to change my mind. It is easy to cook but is still fancy. Perfect for a busy family that wants something different.I served it with a bake potato and asparagus.

I wanted a decadent sauce for steaks that wasn't cream-based. This was exactly it. I used the full one ounce of bittersweet chocolate (60% cacoa) called for and thought it was just right. It's a deep and rich flavor that complimented my filet mignon steaks perfectly. After drizzling sauce over meat I topped with bits of fresh bacon. I can't wait to make this again and again. Thank you!

Very Good! Loved the sauce. Easy to make, yet tasted gourmet. I served this with mashed potatoes and carmelized butternut squash.

THIS IS AN EXCELLENT RECIPE. SEARING THE STEAKS IN A HOT PAN INSTEAD OF GRILLING THEM GIVES THEM A NICE STEAK-HOUSE LIKE RESULT. I ADDED JUST A BIT LESS CHOCOLATE AND A BIT LESS VINEGAR, AND THE SAUCE WAS ABSOLUTLY PERFECT WITH JUST A HINT OF CHOCOLATE. MY FILLETS WERE FROM COSTCO, SO THEY WERE VERY THICK. I COOKED THEM ABOUT 5 MINUTES A SIDE, OR TO 123 DEGREES ON MY MEAT THERMOMETER FOR MED. RARE. I THEN WRAPPED THEM IN FOIL FOR A FEW MINUTES FOR THE JUICES TO RISE. YUM!!!! YOU WILL LOVE IT!

If I could give this 100 stars, I would!! We made this recipe exactly as stated, without changing or substituting a single thing. My husband and I licked our plates CLEAN!

Excellent recipe! Make sure to take the shallots out or the sauce is chunky. Pay attention that the chocolate doesn't get too thick, an A-1 consistency seems right but not what I ended up with.

you would never believe the sauce would be this good looking at the ingredients but they blend so nicely. I thought the sauce tasted too chocolatelyat first until I added salt and pepper to taste and a splash more port. Then, it was as good as any restaurant would serve. We had people over and this was served on the plate with a filet mignon in the center of it and it was oh soo good. I recommend this dish for entertaining and you would swear you served a 300.00 dollar meal for way less.
