Steak Diane - Easy and Insanely Delicious Retro Steak Recipe

[@SipandFeast]

Watch the Sip and Feast Podcast: www.youtube.com/@sipandfeastpodcast. Feel free to use a different cut of beef if you like. Ribeye, skirt, and NY strip all work great, just cook to your preferred internal temp. The ingredient amounts (also in grams) are right in the description and the print recipe is linked there as well. As always, thanks for liking our recipes and videos and sharing our family table each week.

[@KyleDYanak]

Question- I checked your amazon store but did not see it. What is the gas burner you're using there? I have moved back to electric after having gas for many years and I cannot describe the level of hatred I now have for the electric coils. I need to fix this.

It was late for me to eat (7:45) and I was planning on peanut butter toast and baked beans when I came across your video. I had a small steak in the frig and decided to just whip it up as Steak Diane. I had sherry and butter (no cream or cognac) and it was delicious. I’m old (76) so I used to have this in restaurants. So glad I saw your video before I ate! Thanks for this fast, easy and delicious meal!

Used to make this table side in college 40 years ago. Nice work! We used a red wine instead of brandy! It’s good with duck fat roasted potatoes and asparagus!

[@williamegler8771]

My father worked in a high-end Chicago restaurant while he was in college during the mid-60s and this dish was often prepared tableside. My mother said when they were dating this was one of the few dishes that he would make and he made it a couple of times a month while we were growing up. Never went out of style at our house!

Back in my younger days I did service in a fine dining place in New Orleans. Did Steak Diane table side with the flambé. Such a great dish! THE WORLD NEEDS MORE STEAK DIANE!

[@flagal519]

In the 1960's, my family owned a fancy restaurant and we used to do the Steak Diane flambe at the table....delish ! We need to see more of this at the current-day good restaurants....Remember Dover Sol Almandine, flambe at the table? That was another good one, that I loved, as a kid.

My first time watching. This is a great video on so many levels. Your production quality is on the money. Lighting, ambiance, perfection. You're a natural in front of a camera, confident and clear in your instructions. I sub'd. Its no wonder that you have close to a million subs. Steak Diane is one of my favorites. As a waiter at a prestigious Country Club in my late teens, I made this dish table-side for many people. I was the only one the chef trusted with this task. When I returned the cart to the kitchen after cooking I'd be greeted with 3-4 waiters, with spoons in hand, ready to scrape the pan clean.

[@robertwalton8062]

This popped up on my Google feed this morning. Made it this evening. My wife took her first bite and said, “that’s special.” Easy, quick, and absolutely delicious.

[@georgejasper8794]

You're right about how quick this comes together - the classic presentation is to cook it tableside in old time classic restaurants. It is an experience not to be missed, although I don't know that many places do it anymore.

[@judithann7193]

As a child in the 1950's i had gone to Club Diane. I was extremely well behaved but snitched Steak Diane from my parents plates. Soooo great. Yours is gorgeous. I'll be trying it soonest!

[@lslcska]

I made this, doubled, for my family. It was so delicious! I got the steaks from Costco, and used Brandy. Everyone from the kids to adults loved it! And the 5 yr old is picky, so when she gobbled it up I knew it was a winner! Thanks for another yummy rotation for my family feasts!!

[@Eddie-mh6bl]

My family in Indonesia used to make steaks very similar to this. I never knew this style was called Steak Diane... I always just thought of it as Grandma's steak. Thanks for making this!

[@shawnbruch7460]

Great video as always. Using a small silicone spatula helps get all the "wet" ingredients out of the prep bowls so none of the mustard or tomato paste gets left behind...

[@palaceofwisdom9448]

Agreed, the correct doneness of a steak is the way YOU like it. Personally, I prefer half way between medium-rare and medium, which I think deserves its own designation.

[@IFUPokeTheLAMBULWakeThaLION]

.....agreed, but i would add/argue its also influence is the cut of meat, all cuts are not treated equal, neither are prep btwn grilled, broiled or pan fried..........even with the same cut. everything should stand on their own merit.......... then its mise en place(sp?, nod to Chef, Dinner Rush, & Ratitoue (sp?) which i put on when i spend the day cooking, no other way to cook successfully, especially with quick, damn near instantly ready dishes..........

Flaming the cognac was traditionally done when this dish was super popular in the 70's. They used to make this dish table side, and the flames would always get the "ahhh" response from the customers.

[@peggysanders2191]

Splendid! This was my favorite dish when I was in jr. high. My dad made it a lot: for guests and special occasions. Full of wonderful memories for me. He made it in a chafing dish at the table and always flamed it for the drama and sumptuousness.🎉 Thank you.

[@rbettsx]

You probably don’t mean the same as me by ‘timeless’, so forgive any crossed wires… but this is definitely a bourgeois restaurant dish, built for speed and theatre. (Flaming in front of the customer… there’s an extra five quid right there 😊). Good all the same!

[@DancingL704]

I’ve been looking for this recipe for years and years. Thank you for making this. I’m excited to follow your recipe and eat through memories.

[@1990westfalia]

As you mention, this dish comes together very quickly, hence it was often created and prepared table side in a supper club, that way the guest can participate and request the doneness of their steak. We love that you are including Tara more and more into your videos. Its a family thing. Thanks. Skillet

[@Ijusthopeitsquick]

I discovered this dish in the Hotel Cad'oro in Sao Paolo, Brazil, in 1972, when I was 10. It's what made me realise what food could be. The waiter came to the table with a trolley, an alcohol burner and a copper pan. He heated butter in the pan, seared the (beaten thin) beef, set the beef aside, then fried finely chopped shallots and parsley, mustard, Worcester sauce, pepper, added the beef back, flamed it with Cognac, stirred in double cream and served it over white rice. Absolute heaven.

What a great recipe! We made this tonight to celebrate Valentine's Day early, since tomorrow is also Ash Wednesday. This is a winner all the way around...tender steak, incredibly delicious sauce with mushrooms. the Dijon really pops! this really shouldn't be retro. Thank you for this video; it made our Valentine's Day!

[@muffinlordghoti1]

The part of the brandy that actually ignites are the fumes of alcohol that have evaporated off the sauce. The sauce is already very hot and heat rises to the additional heat from igniting the alcohol above the sauce is negligible and you're not eliminating any extra alcohol you're just *seeing* the alcohol that's coming off.

[@helocoastie8274]

You are totally right about flaming. Flambé is for entertaining guests, or just guetting rid of most alcohol faster, which can be useful on a cold dessert, but if you are using the sipirit on a pan, it's just for show

First time I had steak Diane was 1985 in Missoula, it was prepared at my table exactly as you did and it was marvelous!

[@gerardjones7881]

Its good, heres how its done in paris, its a table side dish so it has to be done in under 3 minutes, slice the steak thin 1/4 inch and pound flat , 1/8 inch is good, flour the steak in seasoned flour , saute steak briefly on each side, place on heated plates and cover with plate domes, full flame and quickly flambe to deglaze pan with cognac, immediately add butter , mushrooms and shallots, toss don't stir, cook on full blast from start to end, add very small amount of veal stock, mustard and worst' sauce , it should never come off the boil, add a splash of cream ( you used too much cream and too much stock and had to wait for it to reduce), stir and serve. copper pan is best for transmitting high heat. absolutely no tomato paste or beef stock. Thats how its done at the table at maxims in Paris, you will pay a pretty penny too.

this is very similar so a swedish dish called peppersteak! its essentially the same steak with a similar cream sauce, but we cover the sides of the steak with black and green pepper. green pepper and the cream sauce works really well together. most commonly served with green beans and mashed potatoes or potato wedges.

[@tommoncrieff1154]

He does say this. Pepper steak exists outside Sweden, as steak au poivre, he mentions this, it’s common, it means the same thing. It’s similar but not considered to be the same as Steak Diane. Certainly Diane doesn’t think so. 😂

[@tommoncrieff1154]

The alcohol burns off in all cooking when you let wine, brandy, vermouth etc. bubble for a minute. There is no alcohol in all the classic European dishes made with brandy etc. when served, it always cooks out, you are left with just the taste.

[@_SurferGeek_]

Love Steak Diane! It's unfortunate that so many grocery stores sell filets with the chain still attached. They used to trim off the chain but it's now considered "normal" and allows retailers to charge premium prices for parts that don't warrant it. I'm lucky in that I've found a local butcher and his prices are only about 5% more but well worth it for the professionally trimmed cuts. I would never buy meat from Whole Foods.

The flaming was always only done because restaurants to make this table side so it created a bit of a show for diners, before the excesses of salt bae.
