Peppered Beef Fillet With Bearnaise Sauce image

This is the first thing I ever had at a 'fancy' restaurant. I was around 19 and couldn't believe anything could taste that good. I learned to make it myself. This recipe is a keeper.

I'm not a big fan of béarnaise sauce, but I thought this recipe was still really good. The beef was cooked perfectly and the pepper crust was flavorful. I would definitely make this again, but I would probably use a different sauce.

This recipe was a bit too complicated for me. There were too many steps and ingredients to keep track of. I ended up just making a simple steak and vegetables instead.

I was really excited to try this recipe, but I was disappointed with the results. The beef was tough and the sauce was bland. I think I'll stick to my old reliable steak recipe.

I followed the recipe exactly and the beef turned out tough and chewy. The sauce was also bland. I'm not sure what went wrong.
