I lost the magazine, or should I say the recipe, and went on line to find it. Just printed it out to make tonight. We have used this with Strip steaks, Ribeyes, and filet too. The sauce is a wonderful addition. We do one thing different though. We make it using flour mixed with crushed peppercorns, and coat the steak. It makes a great crust. Cook it in enough oil to keep that crust on the steak. Pull the steaks then make the pan sauce to either serve on the side, or over the steak. Learned the flour trick from the double Musky in Girdwood, Alaska. Wonderful recipe!","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":5,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2010-01-16","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"lurky27"},"reviewBody":"Delicious!
