Gordon Ramsay Steak Diane Recipe

Gordon Ramsay Steak Diane

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.

  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.
