The beef filets were a bit overcooked, but the sauce was delicious. I'll try again with a lower cooking temperature.

This recipe was a disaster! The sauce never thickened and the beef filets were overcooked. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

The sauce was a bit too salty for my taste, but the beef filets were cooked perfectly.
