This recipe is phenomenal! I reserve it for special occasions only, as it does take some time. The crab stuffing is great, but i prefer to put it on top of the steaks and drizzle everything with the sauce before serving. I also suggest partially cooking the bacon before attaching it to the steaks, it just makes it a bit crisper at the end. The sauce does take a while to simmer down, but if you start it first, and let it go while you do the rest of your cooking and prep work, its not so time consuming. During the final simmer, just keep your steaks warm and get your vegetable side or salad ready, then it doesn't feel like it took forever. I like to serve it with mashed potatoes to soak up any leftover sauce on the plate! Wonderful dish, I highly recommend it, especially if your trying to impress!

Only made the sauce. Won't make it again, as was told there wasn't a bold enough flavor.

Amazing. The mushroom sauce was unbelievable. It did take a long time to reduce but it was well worth it. There was almost too much going on, with the crab stuffing and the bacon wrapped around it. It would be just as great with a simple steak and the sauce. I did everything exactly like it is written but I used two 8 oz filets and stuffed them with more of the crab filling.

I made this recipe just as Sue wrote it and found it to be perfect! If there was alot of prepping, I never noticed! It was well worth any time I put into making it. I made this as a special dish for my husband for Valentine's Day. It was outstanding! My husband loved it! I will make this again and again. Thank you for a keeper recipe!

This recipe is spectacularly good. The flavor in the sauce rivals any I've had at high end steakhouses. I agree with a number of the other reviewers that you should allow yourself PLENTY of time for this recipe. It took me just under 3 hours. I think prepping the ingredients the day before for the crab stuffing might help. Prepare for the cream sauce to cook down slowly; it took over 40 minutes on my stove. All that aside, fabulous and will definitely make it again!

Great Sauce!! Made original recipe for entire meal first- Used just sauce recipe for grilled steaks ! What I did was use a lesser pc. of steak in the cast iron skillet to get my yum-yums to deglaze for final steps! I made extra sauce for freezing! Sauce is also good on roast beef!! Thanks- PEACE!

Very good, I could actually feel myself gaining weight, but that's the point with something like this, and totally worth it. Very, very, rich, but very, very, satisfying. I'll be making this again, although prob only about once or twice a year.
