This is not bad but, needed to add a little flour to think the sauce.

Great steak. I made as written but only one steak. Served with French onion soup and Potatoes Gratin.

The sauce was amazing, and so easy! I didn't have brandy, so I used red wine but it was still very good. Will try brandy next time.
