I was looking for an simple sauce for steak one evening and tried this one as it sounded quite tasty. It was very easy to prepare, and the end result was great! I used a bit more beef stock (used about a full stock cube in 300ml water) so it was packed full of flavour.
If I was to make any other comment, I might reduce the butter slightly but thats a matter of personal taste.
Having said that, I will definitely be trying this one again with friends...
