Diane Sauce for Steak
Creamy, rich, and even a touch tangy, this Diane sauce will turn any dinner -- beef-based or otherwise -- into a restaurant-quality meal!
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves fresh garlic minced or grated
- 1/2 cup shallots minced
- 2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/4 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons brandy or cognac
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup low sodium beef broth
- 2 tablespoons worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch optional
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, combine the butter and oil over medium heat.
- Add the garlic and shallots, sauteing until starting to soften and fragrant, approximately 2 minutes.
- Stir in the dijon mustard, salt and pepper until it forms a paste.
- Whisk in the brandy/cognac. When combined, whisk in the cream, beef broth and worcestershire sauce.
- Reduce the heat to low for 5 minutes. Mixture will thicken some, but if you prefer a thicker sauce, use the next step to add cornstarch.
- In a small bowl, combine the cornstarch with 1-2 tablespoons of water until it forms a paste, then whisk the paste into the Diane sauce. Continue to heat for 1-2 minutes and then remove from heat when it starts to provide some resistance.
- Serve the Diane sauce over your favorite steak recipe.
