Ingredients
- 2 fillet mignon steaks
- 6 tbsp butter
- kosher salt
- freshly ground black pepper
- 2 shallots, chopped
- 1 garlic clove, chopped
- 2 tbsp chives, chopped
- 2 tbsp cognac or other brandy
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 200 ml (7 fl oz) beef stock
- 3 tbsp heavy cream
Practice
step 1Remove any large pieces or silverskin from the steak. Beat the steaks with a meat mallet to a 3/4-inch thickness.
step 2Season the steak with salt and pepper and let it rest at room temperature for 15-30 mins.
step 3Melt the butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. After the butter has melted, turn up the heat and place the steak in the pan to cook for 1-4 mins, depending on the thickness of the meat. Use instant read thermometer Joy125 as a quick and efficient way to measure the steak temperatures. Transfer steaks to a plate and tent with foil.
step 4Add the shallots and garlic to the skillet and cook over medium heat, stirring, for about 20 seconds, until fragrant.
step 5Add Cognac to the pan. Using a long match or a long-handled lighter, carefully light the Cognac. Cook for another 30-60 seconds, until the flame goes out.
step 6Add the Worcestershire sauce and mustard to the pan, stirring constantly. Pour in the beef stock and bring to a boil. Cook for about 1-2 mins or until thickened, stirring regularly.
step 7Add the heavy cream, stir, and simmer for 2 mins.
step 8Drizzle the Diane sauce over the steak and garnish with black pepper and chives. Serve with some fried potatoes and a green salad. Enjoy!
