    This sounded so awesome I recalculated the whole thing to save to my recipe box for two servings instead of four. All I added was a tsp of lemon zest to wilt the spinach instead of steaming it. The total calories comes to 351.8 per serving for a 4 oz fillet. I CAN'T wait to try this!!! - 5/24/09

    Incredible!
    This was amazing and it looks super fancy on the plate. I felt like a gourmet chef! It only took about 30 minutes. I didn't have champaigne, so I used cooking Sherry. Taste is fantastic. The man even sat back and said "YUM" afterwards. - 2/6/11
