My family enjoyed this a lot. We used new york steaks per on sale at my local meat place and I like the tenderness of the cut. Used about 3/4 c. jam for a little extra sweetness. Also used both 1/4 c. frozen blackberries and 1/4 c. fresh raspberries in the sauce. The balance of sweet and tangy was great. Will be making again soon. Thank you for a yummy recipe.
