This was indeed a lovely recipe. It was quick and easy to prepare and the flavours of the crust was sensational. I only made 500g of steak as it is only DH & me. I toasted 2 slices of bread and made my own breadcrumbs,otherwise followed the recipe exactly. I added 1/2 teaspoon of honey to the sauce as it was a teensy bit tart for my taste. Served with roasted carrots and potatoes, which was done in the same oven with the beef. Made for Recipe Swap #22 Hakea Grp in the Aus/NZ forum
