Gordon Ramsay Steak Diane
Print Recipe

Steak Diane is a classic steakhouse dish with origins in the mid-20th century, often prepared tableside. It features pan-seared steak, cooked to perfection, then topped with a flambéed brandy cream sauce made with mushrooms, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and cream. Gordon Ramsay’s version keeps the flavors bold and refined while ensuring the steak remains the star of the dish.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Steak

  • 2 sirloin or filet mignon steaks (about 1 inch thick)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter

For the Diane Sauce

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 small shallot, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ cup mushrooms, finely sliced
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • ¼ cup beef stock + 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar (non-alcoholic substitute for brandy)
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • ½ teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Steak

  1. Pat the steaks dry with paper towels to ensure a good sear.
  2. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.

Step 2: Sear the Steak

  1. Heat olive oil and butter in a pan over medium-high heat.
  2. Sear steaks for 2-3 minutes per side for medium-rare (adjust for preferred doneness).
  3. Remove from the pan and let rest on a plate, loosely covered with foil.

Step 3: Make the Diane Sauce

  1. Melt butter in the same pan over medium heat.
  2. Sauté shallots and garlic for 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Add mushrooms and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.
  4. Stir in Worcestershire sauce and Dijon mustard, mixing well.
  5. Pour in the beef stock and apple cider vinegar mixture, stirring to deglaze the pan.
  6. Lower heat and add heavy cream, stirring continuously until the sauce thickens.
  7. Season with salt and black pepper, then simmer for 1-2 minutes.

Step 4: Assemble and Serve

  1. Return the steak to the pan, spooning sauce over the top.
  2. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.
