Gordon swept us back to the seventies serving this steak Diane recipe as the main course in Cookalong USA
Watch the step-by-step videos from Gordon on how to prepare the steak, how to make the sauce for steak Diane and how to make sauteed potatoes
Serves 4
1. Parboil the potatoes in boiling salted water for 8-10 minutes or until just tender. Drain the potatoes and set aside.
2. Using a rolling pin, roll out the steaks to flatten and cut off the rind of fat. Season the steaks on both sides with salt and pepper (watch the step-by-step video from Gordon on how to prepare the steak).
3. Heat a little olive oil in a heavy based pan large enough to accommodate the 4 steaks in one layer. Quickly sauté the steaks on both sides for approx 1 minute to colour, then remove from the pan and set aside to rest. Drain the excess oil from the pan.
4. For the potatoes, take a clean pan and heat with olive oil. Place the potatoes in cut-side down and season with salt and pepper. Leaving their skins on, lightly crush the garlic cloves and add with the sprigs of rosemary. Once the potatoes have begun to colour toss through the butter and cook for a further 1 -2 minutes.
5. To make the sauce for the steaks, heat some fresh olive oil in the steak pan. Slice the shallots and add to the pan, allow to soften briefly before slicing and adding the mushrooms with a little butter. Crush in the garlic and stir through. Add the Worcestershire sauce, then the mustard and heat through for a minute. Turn up the heat and tilt the pan away from you. Pour the brandy into the far end and allow it to ignite – be careful that the flame that flares up doesn’t singe your eyebrows! Once the alcohol has burnt off, swirl the juices around the pan. Add the cream and allow the sauce to thicken before turning down the heat.
6. Introduce the steaks back into the pan and cook a little further depending on how well done you would like them. Chop the parsley and add half to the pan.
7. Cook the peas in a small pot with the butter for approximately 1 -2 minutes until tender. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
8. To serve, transfer the steaks to serving plates and spoon the sauce on top. Arrange the sautéed potatoes and peas alongside and garnish the steaks with the remaining parsley.
