  1. This is a GREAT low carb recipe! Definitely company-worthy! I added 1/2 teaspoon cayenne to the cheese sauce and doubled the vegetables. The cheese sauce turns out very smooth. I did barbecue the steaks, though, using Ina Garten's foolproof steak recipe for a charcoal grill, and I also tossed in a couple handfuls of soaked mesquite chips over the coals. I am always a bit nervous about grilling steaks (they're a treat at our house), but this came out terrific!
     
  2. I have just finished eating this for lunch and it was wonderful! I loved the sauce on top of the steak. I left out the zucchini as I didn't have any and I also grilled my steak before topping. I will be sure to make this again as it is so great tasting.
     
  3. This was out of this world good. I can't believe how this tasted. It was like eating a steak from a steakhouse. I will be making this steak again and again. I followed the recipe to a T and everything was perfect. Thank you for such a darn good recipe.
