Steak Diane Recipe
Steak Diane Recipe
There’s a reason classic recipes become classic recipes – they are so good that they stand the test of time, just like this popular 1970s Steak Diane recipe! Its a keeper for when you want to jazz up plain old steak and chips a little.
The Diane sauce couldn’t be simpler – pan juices plus butter, cream, Worcestershire sauce, brandy and parsley. And you don’t even need to add the brandy if you don’t have any! I’ve had this bottle of brandy for years and bring it out whenever I need it for cooking (I’m a chardonnay gal myself). It has kept really well and I feel it was a fine investment of $30 for the bottle. You can get them in 150ml bottles for about $10 as well, so there’s really no reason why that little hit of flavour should be omitted.
