Wonderful steak! I made this as directed with one small change. Since my tenderloin was so thick, I wrapped it with a piece of bacon to keep it a little moister while cooking. The sauce was wonderful and I thoroughly enjoyed this meal. Thanks weekend cooker for such a nice treat. Made for Please Review My Recipe Tag.

I totally loved this! I made it exactly as posted, but I have to say.....a ground beef patty would be absolutely delicious with this mushroom sauce! This is a wonderful recipe, and I thank you for sharing it with us. Made for 123 Hits tag.

I followed the recipe as written other then I used NY strips steaks, half and half instead of the whipping cream and about a pound of mushrooms. Hubby made the steaks on the grill and I made the sauce. This was very good but next time I would let the steaks "soak" in the sauce before serving.

I cooked the steak on the bbq. But did the sauce in the skillet. I used half and half cream instead of heavy whipping cream. It was great. We all enjoyed the mushroom sauce on the steak :) Thanks Weekend Cooker. Made for PRMR tag game.

5 Stars, The Hunter said the mushrooms and sauce were just what they should be, and he liked that the steaks were cooked separately, so I could determine correct cooking by instant thermometer. I recommend adding a note to pat the steaks dry before adding to the pan. The only downside was that the steaks did not look that appetizing after I poured the mushroom sauce over them, so I would recommend passing the mushrooms and gravy separately from the steaks. My photo shows one submerged steak and one unadorned panfried steak. By the way, I used Eastern Shore, Maryland, corn-fed venison tenderloin; DH couldn't stop thumping his chest, it tasted so good. Served with Recipe #323054 #323054 and Recipe #318826 #318826. Thanks for posting this manly dish, Weekend Cooker! Made for Sarah_Jayne's Fungi Mushroom Appreciation Party in Potluck Tag.
