Steak Diane....Made this before the storm
2 strip steaks cut into half, approx 7 oz. (each)
2 shallots, peeled
3 ounces button mushrooms
1 tablespoon salted butter
1 garlic clove, peeled
1 -2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1/4 teaspoon Tabasco brand hot sauce
the juice of 1/2 freshly squeezed lemon
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/3 cup brandy
2/3 cup heavy cream
Small handful of flat-leaf parsley
Salt and Pepper to taste
MethodUsing a mallet, pound out steaks to flatten and cut off any excess fat. Season the steaks on both sides with salt and pepper. Heat 1/2 teaspoon olive oil in a skillet. Brown steaks for a minute on each side (cook to medium rare) then remove from the pan and set aside to rest.
To make the sauce for the steak. mince the shallots and add to the pan, saute until shallots turn transluscent (don't burn). Add mushrooms and a tablespoon of butter. Mince and add garlic.
Add the Worcestershire sauce, then the mustard and heat through for a minute. Turn up the heat and tilt the pan away from you. Pour the brandy into the far end and allow it to ignite (stand back). Once the alcohol has burnt off, swirl liquid around the pan. Add the cream and allow the sauce to thicken. Reduce heat. Place steaks back into pan. Add chopped parsely. Finish with Tabasco and freshly squeezed lemon. Taste and adjust seasoning (salt and pepper)
Serve with baked potatoe or pan fried new potatoes and fresh peas..
