  1. Fancy entertaining! So very good and rich! I tasted the sauce before adding the cream Thinking a dab of butter would just finish this off great. The cream did make it very rich for those special occasions. For the brandy I used Harveys Bristol Cream Sherry. So yummy.
     
  2. I made this using one large T-bone steak, but I omitted using the brandy, as I didn't want to take a chance causing a fire lol! but used all other ingredients, also added in garlic. DH enjoyed this for lunch, thanks Ev!...Kitten
     
  3. i made this last night and it was absoloutely delicious; i didnt have shallots, so substituted with some regular chopped onions, I even managed not to singe my eyebrows when i ignited the brandy..that was the fun part of this recipe!
     
  4. Top notch! Love stakes, sauce was fab and there was plenty of it. Actually I did cut the amount of cream just a little, and there was still plenty of it. Yummm.

I moved out here many, many years ago from Ottawa, Canada - so I am blessed in having two wonderful heritages! I suffer from compulsive obsessive behaviour with regard to food and my psychiatrist thought it would be a good idea to find a 'society' where many have the same problem and try to find a cure. So far, I've copied a couple of thousand recipes from this site and my psychiatrist has thrown the towel in and refuses to answer the phone when I call. What did I do wrong? Got 3 kids that keep me on the go - 10 and under at this point (2008) - I may not get round to updating this for a few years, so you'll have to do your own maths. I teach English full-time and Greek Cookery part-time. I would like to make the cooking part of it full-time and the English Grammar part of it part-time. That's all for now.
