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.

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!

[@user-calm_salty]

Thanks @BEVERLY.... this was very helpful, I'm going to use a little milk and butter and wine.

I greatly appreciate your clear, quick, concise presentation. So many cooking shows are ego trips with too much personality. Sometimes it simply takes too long to find out what the recipe is all about. Personality comes through clearly anyway. Thank you and best

My wife and I go to an old classic steakhouse and she always gets the Steak Diane. She appreciates the flaming of the cognac.

[@COOKINGFROMTHELOFT]

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.

[@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!

[@helocoastie8274]

You guys are awesome, some broccolini for a side would be my choice.

Roasted asparagus for me and my wife!

Fresh and not overcooked green beans for me.

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.

[@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!

[@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!

I should not have watched this. Just got done having dinner and now I'm hungry all over again. Salute!

[@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.

[@oldsoul3576]

.....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..........

[@GolDreadLocks]

Love, Love, Love, this recipe! Clear, simple, executable instructions, Amazing flavour... Thank you!

[@joebarcelona5433]

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!

[@mikemoran5003]

"Stickage." Love it, Jim.

[@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...

[@spicerack4397]

Oh, my. My favorite table side served meal from the old days, from a more elegant time. This easy version seems like a plan. Thank you.

[@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!!

Mise en place! AGAIN, I love it that you say "Cook it to the way you like to eat it. Thank you. God Bless, stay safe and warm.

[@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.

[@j.brianbobiak12]

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.

[@IrradiatedMushroom]

I didn't think I'd *EVER* seen a Perfect Medium Rare. Like PERFECTO PATRONUM Mother-EFFER! Woah that was a joy to watch! Well done, Chef!

[@TDAEON]

Made this for dinner today and it was fantastic! Thank you for this classic - was so easy to make following your steps and prep guidance.

[@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

[@randalljames1]

A classic for old school eateries.. Dish is prepared tableside and is amazing...

[@ronalddevine9587]

I think the flaming is just restaurant showmanship used to justify outrageous prices. Great video, as always. You never disappoint.

[@JerryB507]

Sizzle Sauce isn't just for fajita platters, it flames up nicely on the grill.

[@clairettew6302]

Well, flaming alcohol wasn't invented for restaurant showmanship, it has its use. It helps getting rid of the alcohol

[@ronalddevine9587]

@@clairettew6302 cooking without flaming does the same thing. It's just high priced snob appeal.

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.

[@CookingWithCarmelo]

I had Steak Diane for the first time at a steak house in Long Beach, CA many years ago and I fell in love with this dish! It is a classic; your version looks absolutely outstanding! I'm so glad you made it! I've told many people about it through the years and most don't even know what it is. Steak, any way, is how much I love steak! I have several friends who are steak and burger lovers and we bond over eating them! Thanks, Jim.

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.
