Thank you Tin, what a great recipe! I cant wait to invite company over so they can marvel at my expertise, lol! The only changes were I only had white mushrooms and I used a london broil. I sliced and served the sauce over it, it was amazing and attractive. This will be added to our list of faves for the family. Really, you MUST try this recipe, I would serve with any cut.

Absolutely delicious! I used a skillet for the steaks (cooking them until they were 3/4 done) then put them in the oven while I prepared the sauce in the same skillet. The only thing I changed was to not add the 2 Tspoons of butter to the sauce as it tasted rich enough without it. Definitely making this one again and thanks for the recipe.
