Steak Diane

Serves 4 as Main Dish.

• 4 boneless beef sirloin strip steaks cut 3/4-inch thick
  
• 1 T butter
  
• 2 T finely chopped shallots
  
• 2 cloves garlic, crushed
  
• 1 c sliced fresh mushrooms
  
• 1/4 c beef stock (homemade if possible)
  
• 2 T brandy
  
• 2 tsp Dijon mustard
  
• 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  
• 2 tsp finely chopped parsley
  

1. Melt butter in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add shallots and garlic. Cook 2 minutes.

2. Stir in mushrooms and cook 3-4 more minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.

3. Increase heat to medium-high. Add steaks and cook 6-7 minutes for medium-rare (140°F), turning once. Remove steaks to a warm platter.

4. Deglaze with brandy (it'll flame), then add the stock, mustard, Worcestershire sauce and reserved mushroom mixture. Bring to a boil. Stir until liquid is slightly reduced, about 1-2 minutes.

5. Spoon sauce over steaks and sprinkle with parsley.

Note: works wonderfully well with venison steaks as well. Works well served with fettucine.
