They steak is cut in thin slices and swims in this fantastic sauce. The fries are addicting as well. We first discovered the restaurant in the early 90's. At that time, you could have as much as you wanted for $20. Since good things don't last forever; after several years, up to the present time, you could only have 2 servings....the 3rd serving is not free; you will have to pay extra and it is no longer $20!
Since I can't go to Paris as often as I would like, I tried to duplicate this dish. The result was not too bad. I first sprinkled course salt on the filet mignon's then cooked them in butter and set them aside. I then added beef broth, wine, mustard to the pan, added some whipping cream and seasoned the sauce with more salt and kept tasting it till the everything was well balanced. I thickened the sauce with cornstarch.
I served this with store bought Ore-Ida frozen fries. It's always a good idea to make an abundance of sauce so you could pour it all over the fries. I also had a salad on the side for good measure.
Dessert had to be bought. It was an easy choice; Pear tart from L'Amande Bakery. Everyone loved it....they were all happy campers.
If you have no plans to visit Paris in the near future, you can settle for New York. They do have L'Entrecote at 590 Lexington Ave. in Manhattan. It's the next best thing.
