The beef filets were a bit overcooked for my taste, but the sauce was delicious. I would recommend cooking the beef filets for a shorter amount of time.

The sauce was a bit too salty for my taste, but otherwise this dish was delicious. The beef filets were cooked perfectly and the mushrooms were sautéed to perfection.
