It’s the kind of recipe that feels luxurious but is surprisingly easy to prepare. Ready in under 30 minutes, Steak Diane is perfect for anniversaries, dinner parties, or whenever you want to impress with minimal effort.

Instructions:

1. Cook steaks: Season beef with salt and pepper. Heat butter and oil in a skillet, sear steaks 3–4 minutes per side. Remove to rest.
2. Cook vegetables: Add shallot and mushrooms to the same pan, sauté until softened.
3. Flambé: Pour in brandy, ignite carefully, and let flames burn off alcohol.
4. Make sauce: Stir in mustard, beef stock, and cream. Simmer 3–4 minutes until thick.
5. Finish: Return steaks to pan, coat with sauce, and serve.

Tips:

- Cuts: Filet mignon or tenderloin gives the best results.

- Safety: Tilt the pan slightly when flambéing — never lean over it.
