This was great! I've been wanting to try this recipe for a long time but the scotch intimidated me since neither my husband nor I like scotch. I wish I hadn't waited so long. The sauce was DELICIOUS. I used Dijon mustard instead of coarse grain mustard. Otherwise, I followed the recipe exactly. (Well sorta exactly, I didn't use the parsley but other than THAT it was exactly heheheh). I served it with broccoli and pan fried potatoes with onions. Will definitely make again and again. Thanks for sharing.

This was fantastic. At first, I thought Scotch would be a gamble since I was making this dish for my whole family (including 2 young kids). But it worked out well as the alcohol taste wasn't over powering but only gave the sauce a subtle boost. (And in the end, neither of my kids wanted the sauce anyway...go figure!) But it was a delightful sauce, which the mustard gave it a very delightful zest. I did cut the parsley to 1/8 cup though (as 1/4 cup seemed to much), and I thought that was perfect. I will definitely make this again. Thank you for sharing your recipe, swissms. Made for "Please Review My Recipe" tag game.

Well I absolutely loved this over my steak (the DH had his on the side and had a taste with some steak and considered it so so and then smothered his steak in b-b-q sauce I saw red but kept my mouth shut - couldn't believe it) but the DM and the DS enjoyed with their sausages. The only change I would make would to up the mushroom for the quantity of cream and maybe the mustard too. Thank you swissms for a great recipe.

FANTASTIC!!! I made this using a bone in ribeye which I seasoned and then grilled, rather than pan fry. I then made 1/2 of the sauce, but still used a whole shallot and used dijon mustard, as I didn't have a coarse grain and used sliced baby bella mushrooms. Wonderful way to put the plain rib eye steak over the top!!!

I love cooking for family and friends. I especially enjoy baking...it is like combining art and science to create something extraordinary.
I am most known for making desserts like Recipe #336060. My pet peeve: when people sign-up to bring dessert to a pot-luck or dinner party and they bring something pre-made from the store. My friends and family now know to always let me bring the dessert. :)
I enjoy traveling and believe that one of the best ways to experience a culture is through food. I have lived in Germany, Spain and Switzerland, and currently live in the US.
My rating system:
5 stars - Excellent! Delicious! Could not be better...will make often.
4 stars - Very good! May tweak slightly.
3 stars - Good base recipe. Will need to tweak.
2 stars - Ok. Will keep looking.
