Steak Diane Sauce
unsalted butter | 1 tablespoon | |
shallot, minced | 1 | |
cloves garlic, minced | 2 | |
beef stock | 1 cup | |
brandy or cognac | 1/2 cup | |
Worcestershire sauce | 2 tablespoons | |
Dijon mustard | 1 tablespoon | |
heavy cream | 1/2 cup | |

fresh chopped parsley (optional) | 2 tablespoons |
Directions
Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the minced shallot and garlic, cooking until they are soft and fragrant, but not browned.
Add the brandy or cognac to the pan. Be careful, as the alcohol may flame up. Let it simmer until it has reduced by half, which should take about 2-3 minutes.
Stir in the beef stock, Worcestershire sauce, and Dijon mustard. Bring the mixture to a simmer and allow it to cook for about 10 minutes, until the sauce has reduced and thickened slightly.
Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream. Let the sauce simmer for another 2-3 minutes until it is heated through and well combined.
Season the sauce with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. If you like, you can stir in the fresh chopped parsley for a bit of added color and freshness.
Serve the sauce warm over your cooked steak.
The savory, tangy flavors of Steak Diane Sauce can really elevate your steak, making for a delicious and sophisticated meal. Enjoy your cooking!
