A quick and easy Steak Diane recipe featuring tender sirloin steaks smothered in a creamy mushroom brandy sauce, perfect for cozy dinners or impressing guests.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless beef sirloin or filet mignon steaks (6 oz / 170 g each), room temperature
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or vegetable oil (for searing)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 8 oz (225 g) cremini or button mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 small shallot, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) brandy or cognac (can substitute with dry white wine)
  • 1 cup (240 ml) heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce (optional)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Pat the steaks dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and pepper on both sides. Let them rest at room temperature for 15 minutes.
  2. Place a heavy skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Once shimmering, add 1 tablespoon of butter and let it melt.
  3. Carefully place the steaks in the hot pan without overcrowding. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare (internal temperature about 130°F/54°C). Do not move them around to allow crust formation.
  4. Transfer the steaks to a warm plate and tent loosely with foil. Rest for at least 5 minutes.
  5. In the same pan, add the remaining tablespoon of butter. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for 5 minutes until browned and moisture evaporates, stirring occasionally.
  6. Stir in the minced garlic and chopped shallot. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.
  7. Carefully pour in the brandy. Optionally flambé with a long lighter. Let the alcohol cook off for about 2 minutes, scraping browned bits from the pan.
  8. Stir in the heavy cream, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. Simmer gently for 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  9. Return the steaks to the pan, spoon sauce over them, and cook for an additional minute to warm through. Sprinkle with fresh parsley.
  10. Serve the steaks hot with creamy mushroom brandy sauce. Pairs well with mashed potatoes, buttered noodles, or a green salad.

Notes

Dry steaks before seasoning for a better crust. Use tongs to flip steaks to retain juices. If sauce is too thin, simmer longer; if too thick, add cream or broth. Flambéing brandy is optional and should be done cautiously. Rest steaks after searing for juicy tenderness.
