  1. I had this for dinner last night. I followed the recipe exactly. I didn't have any problems at all, and the steak was BETTER than a restaurant steak. Thanks Melibug! =D
     
  2. I believe our equivalent to New York strip is sirloin and 12 oz is about 340g and I had 4 sirloins which each weighed about 200g so we doubled the recipe and due to an allergy issue I had to sub spring onion (scallion) for the shallot which possibly made a difference to the brandy becoming a glaze as all it appeared to be doing is rapidly evaporating so we stopped when the 1/2 cup got down to less than a 1/4 of a cup and continued but had to transfer the sauce into the frypan we cooked the steaks as it was going to take for ever to reduce but it didn't seem to get thick but the sauce was absolutely delicious on the steaks. As our steaks were smaller we put them in a lower oven temperature (mine and the DS going in a little later so we had medium rare and the DH had well done.) I would certainly give it another go but not double the sauce content and do the sauce in the same frypan that the steaks were cooked in. Thank you MeliBug for your recipe.
