Steak Diane
We developed this elegant flambéed steak recipe to make just two servings — perfect for a special Valentine’s Day meal or date night. Steak Diane is a classic dish that rose to popularity in the 1940s and 50s, especially in New York City. Steak was pounded and then a pan sauce was made with Worcestershire, mustard and shallots. In Manhattan restaurants it became popular to flambé the cognac added to the sauce, making it a dramatic dish to cook tableside. Over the years more ingredients were added, including mushrooms, tomato paste and cream. The result is luxurious and decadent. We added instructions for making a quick side of buttery green beans so the whole meal can be on the table in just about 30 minutes
