It’s not to often that I eat beef. I love it, but red meat is secondary on my list. Seafood and poultry are my number choices. But the hubby loves a good steak. I usually don’t even try to attempt to make him steak because he makes a mean filet mignon and an incredible Beef Wellington.
But there comes a time when I must try to venture out of my comfort zone. This recipe is a great romantic dish for your sweetheart if they are meat eaters.
The brandy really added depth of flavor to the steak and it was lip smacking.
Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.
