At the request of my family, I make this every year for our special Valentine's Day meal. My kids LOVE how the tarragon sauce enhances the flavor of the steak. And that's saying something--they are 15 & 10 years old!!

I have made this twice and it is so delicious! My guests raved through out the entire meal saying it was the best steak ever! The only thing I do different is grill the steaks instead of pan fry. You MUST use a food processor and fresh tarragon. Made it once with dry spices and hand mixed it. Was good but in a processor its out of this world! Thanks Paula!

I made this and it was ok but I didn't like the Tarragon Melting Sauce. However, I now see that onion rings were suppose to go on top. I bet that mixed with the sauce will be good. I want to revisit this one again.
