"The rating is on the recipe, not the final product. The final product would garner a 5 star rating. The beef came out perfect. The recipe needs a couple of enhancements. If all the liquid does not cook out of the duxelle, the remaining liquid should be drained. As other reviews have stated, the sauce takes a bit of time and should be made before the beef comes out of the oven. I am still trying to figure out what to do with the greens and juice from the peppercorns. Overall, an outstanding meal. We will prepare it again.
