Gordon swept us back to the seventies with this steak Diane recipe from Cookalong Live

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

Ingredients

  • 4 x small sirloin steaks, approx 200g each, trimmed of rind and excess fat
  • 3 shallots, peeled
  • 100g chestnut mushrooms, cleaned
  • 1 garlic clove, peeled
  • Worcestershire sauce, to taste
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 50ml brandy
  • 200ml single cream
  • Small handful of flat-leaf parsley
  • 300g peas (defrosted if using frozen)
  • Approx 30g salted butter
  • Olive oil
  • Salt and pepper

For the sautéed potatoes:

  • Approx 500g-600g small Charlotte potatoes, cut in half
  • 2 garlic cloves, peeled
  • Few sprigs of rosemary

Method: How to make steak Diane with sautéed potatoes and peas

1. Parboil the potatoes in boiling salted water for 4-5 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. Quickly sauté the steaks on both sides for approx 1 minute to colour, then remove from the pan and set aside to rest.

4. Bring the same pan back up to temperature and add a little more oil if necessary. Slice the shallots and mushrooms add to the pan, season with salt and pepper and sauté briefly. Crush in the garlic and stir (watch the step-by-step video from Gordon on how to make the sauce for steak Diane).

5. Add the Worcestershire sauce and mustard and heat through for 1-2 minutes. Tilt the pan away from you, pour the alcohol into the far end and allow it to ignite. Once the alcohol has burnt off, swirl the juices around the pan. Pour in the cream and add the steaks and any resting juices back into the pan. Allow the steaks to heat through for 2-3 minutes. Chop the parsley and sprinkle it into the pan.

6. Introduce the steaks back into the pan and cook for 2- 3 minutes (depending on how well done you like your steak).

7. Heat a little oil in a separate pan and add the potatoes. Season with a little salt and pepper and add the rosemary. Crush in two garlic cloves and sauté. Toss the potatoes, add a knob of butter and sauté for a further 1-2 minutes until golden and cooked through (watch the step-by-step video from Gordon on how to make sauteed potatoes).

8. Cook the peas for 2-3 minutes in boiling salted water with a little butter. Drain, and keep warm.

9. To serve, transfer the steaks to serving plates and spoon the sauce over. Arrange the sautéed potatoes and peas alongside.

  1. Could we please have the recipes in imperial as well as metric as many people like me prefer imperial. I get bored of trying to convert everything. Thanks.

  3. How I love to watch GRrrr but Blighty is MILES ahead of food production standards over the US;here in Florida butchers have gone the way of the Dodo... fishmongers? I can't find one but I hear you say "FL has the Atlantic & Gulf coasts!" - so what? Pretty much all fish is flash frozen in Taiwan (what-where-ever) then sent to the USA - unless you have a boat & can catch fish yourself - & smoked haddock? unheard of!!! Back bacon? Fageddaboudit! Almost all bacon has additives & have a veritable "novel" on the back of each package - even in the "green" supermarkets most of the fish/meat is rubbish. Some "green" farmer's markets have popped up but only between Oct-May - not the kind of markets you get in Blighty = oh dear, I have to wonder if the sunshine is worth the crap food?

  12. We think that you need to cook the potatoes for a little bit longer or they are too hard. A little bit more boiling at the beginning, and a bit more sauting at the end. Good luck!

  14. Will it spoil the dish if I don't use Brandy and burn the alcohol away? I don't drink Brandy and it is too expensive to buy just for the dish.

  17. Just finished our seventies night meal, great fun. Recipe for prawn cocktail - use 50ml less mayo, cheesecake a bit too creamy - less double cream. Other wise great fun. Cheers Paul

  22. Good fun, enjoyed the panic but... Starter was horrible - fair enough for a chef to know exact quantities but a prawn cocktail with too much brandy bites a little. What happened to putting the potatoes on? We missed that & then we were kinda stuffed. Had the cheese cake for main course! Are all the ingredients really on the preparation list? A rather delightful list of condiments seemed to magic themselves into the dish before our eyes. Thank god for our imaginary herb garden. Other than that, may we suggest a rather simpler kebab next friday?
