Portuguese Filet Mignon With Mushroom Sauce created by Jostlori

This is a recipe that I found on www.portuguesecooking.com and it sounds delicious!! Posting for ZWT5 so it is untried by me at this point!! This is what is stated on the site about this recipe: This is a recipe for an upscale steak served at a former Lisbon restaurant. Though it is not traditional it has rave reviews.

This is more than a 5-star recipe! I just loved the mushrooms, and the steak was awesome as well. Rubbing the steak with lemon I think made all the difference. I did change the technique for the mushroom sauce just a bit - I sauteed the onions in the butter, and THEN added the milk, wine, etc. Regardless, it was delicious!! Thanks for posting!

The Worcestershire sauce was very overwhelming. If made again, I would reduce it by at least half. The sauce was also runny, it was like water. I would add some flour. BUT if you like A1 on your steak, you would probably love the recipe as is.

This was quite good, I enjoyed the rub on the steak and the mushrooms had a wonderful flavor. I bought the bread and just remembered it now (hours later), anyways it was great without it. Made for ZWT5
