    absolutely superb we added mushrooms and garlic on top of the pate. Absolutely to die for if fillet steak didnt cost so much we would have this more often. Yummy yummy

    Had this tonight, though used rump steak instead (not buying fillet at £40/kg!) very easy to make and tasted fantastic. The only reason it got 4 and not 5 stars was because of the cost of the fillet

    Used sirloin steak which was just fine, rather than fillet. Lovely Saturday night in meal. Used therest of the mushroom pate (wasn't quite sure what to do with it!), mixed with wilted, chopped spinach & cheese in pancakes. Will definately make again.

    Loved it and so did my dinner guests! Only thing was that the meat came out more well done than medium/rare - will cut down on searing time next time.

    This was yummy - the only thing that let it down was the pate - my boyf will only eat Brussels Smooth pate which I don't like. Will use a mushroom pate next time and not tell him!!!
