I was going to post this myself, but saw it was already posted. This is an EXCELLENT recipe. There is nothing in the finished product that tastes light- it is so flavorful, its really the Cabernet reduction sauce that does it I think. My husband does prefer the steaks either grilled or broiled and not cooked in the pan. If you are a steak lover, it is worth the splurge on the filet mignon steaks, but I would have to say that this would probably taste good over any cut of steak. Only other thing we do different is I use a bit more salt & pepper on the steaks and in the sauce because we just like to be able to taste the salt & pepper.
