This was similar to a recipe my husband's friend cooked for us, but not quite as good. That is why I only gave it 4 stars. Also, I made some slight changes (we hate blue cheese), so maybe it's not fair to only give it 4 stars since I didnt follow the recipe exactly. Anyhow, I left out the dijon and added fresh chopped garlic to the marinade and just a wee bit of sugar. Also, instead of blue cheese, we topped with goat cheese and it was very good. Overall, a keeper, but needs to be tweaked a bit. . .

I'm not the meat-eater in my house, so I'll speak for my husband here: "Oh. My. Gosh. Delicious!"

This deserves ten stars. It's the best steak marinade/recipe I have ever had, and I compare every steak I eat now to it. My husband and I never get tired of it -- we use it for all steaks, not just filet mignon. I also gave it to a girlfriend whose husband is a picky eater -- they broil it and LOVE it. I often top the steaks with feta instead of blue cheese, since blue is often an acquired taste for many. This is perfect!

OMG this was SO good! Even my picky eater couldn't get enough of this. I'll definitely be saving this recipe for when we have company. THANKS!

I made this for dinner last night. After a few bites, my boyfriend muted the TV and said to me, "Baby, this is outstanding. It's so tender. It tastes just like the ones in the restaurant. How did you do that?" After eating his, he finished mine. I used 1-inch filets and left them out to marinate. I pierced each sides with a fork a few times to help the flavors soak in. I then broiled them 3-4 inches from the heat source, 7 minutes per side. I put the topping on during the last 2 minutes. Served them sliced over a romaine salad with sliced red onions, pine nuts, croutons, and blue cheese with balsamic dressing. Also added the grilled shrimp scampi from this site. Mmmm.

Delicious! We tried it with ribeyes and with chicken breasts as well and both were wonderful. Served it on top of crispy baked hash brown patties as another reviewer mentioned and it added another layer of delectable flayor with an added crunch - yum!

It was okay, but after reading all the rave reviews, my boyfriend and I were a little disappointed.

Awesome recipe!!! We made it for Valentine's Day dinner and I've been craving it ever since! I have had this every other night since then! Yummy! Instead of filet, we used NY steaks from Costco...

Too much blue cheese for my taste even though my husband and I love blue cheese. I probably wont make this one again.

Simply put, when asked his rating, my husband raised his left hand as he was taking a bite with his right and showed me five fingers! This was awesome. I had to use gorgonzola mixed with some blue cheese dressing because that was on hand for our impromptu menu. I also perfectly broiled the meat since it was -2F outside and I was in no way going to grill! YUM!!!

Yummy! I grilled these steaks outside and they were great. I also did some chicken in place of the steak (My Mom does not like steak, go figure) and it was also very delicious. I have used this marinade on it's own many times now and love it.

This was great, I grilled the filets on a grill pan in the house and topped with brie instead of blue cheese. I served the filets on top of 2 Ore-Ida hash browns and then put a circle of green beans sauteed with onions around it. It looked very fancy, but was funny since they were really frozen hash browns.

We liked the marinade and blue cheese, but the onion was too sweet for us. Maybe if I'd not used a sweet onion or omitted the sugar we would like it better.

simple, fast and extremely good. I started out using filet mignon for this recipe and quickly learned that it tastes just as good with pretty much any cut of beef.
