Description
Steak Diane is a classic and elegant dish featuring tender beef steaks cooked to perfection and smothered in a rich, creamy sauce. Perfect for special occasions or a luxurious dinner at home.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 beef tenderloin steaks (6 oz each)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/4 cup finely chopped shallots
- 1/2 cup beef broth
- 1/4 cup brandy or cognac
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
- 1 tablespoon butter
Instructions
- Season the steaks with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steaks and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until desired doneness. Remove the steaks and set aside.
- Add shallots to the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes, until softened.
- Carefully add brandy or cognac to the skillet. If desired, ignite the alcohol with a long lighter to flambé. Cook until flames subside, then add beef broth.
- Stir in heavy cream, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes, until sauce thickens.
- Return steaks to the skillet with accumulated juices. Cook for 1-2 minutes, until steaks are heated through and coated with sauce.
- Stir in chopped parsley and butter until melted and combined.
- Serve immediately, spooning sauce over the top.
Notes
- For best results, use high-quality beef tenderloin.
- Ensure the skillet is hot enough to sear the steaks properly.
- Exercise caution when flambéing the brandy or cognac.
