Beef Diane Recipes

Steps:

• Pairs well with: cabernet
• Add the beef stock to a saucepan and reduce over medium-high heat to 1/2 cup, about 1 hour.
• Sprinkle the steaks on both sides with the salt and pepper. In a large skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat, heat 2 tablespoons of the butter and the olive oil. When the butter has melted and the oil shimmers, add the steaks. Brown the steaks on both sides, 3 minutes per side. Transfer the steaks to a plate and set aside, lightly covered with foil.
• Add the mushrooms and shallots to the pan and cook for 2 minutes, stirring frequently, adding oil if needed. Add the garlic. When the garlic is lightly colored, add the brandy (be careful, it can ignite). Add the wine, mustard, Worcestershire and the reduced beef stock. Simmer for 2 to 3 minutes more. Return the steaks to the pan and finish cooking them to the desired temperature, 2 to 4 minutes, depending upon the size of the filets and desired temperature/doneness. For medium-rare, cook to 135 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter to the sauce to melt.
• To serve, place a steak on each plate and pour the sauce over the steak.

Steps:

• Let the beef tenderloin filets sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking.
• Meanwhile, bring salted water to a boil in a medium saucepan and fill a medium bowl with ice water. Add the bok choy to the boiling water and cook until slightly tender, about 1 minute. Transfer to the ice water until cool, then drain, quarter lengthwise and set aside.
• Heat 1 tablespoon canola oil in a medium saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and shallots, then sprinkle with salt and pepper and let cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms brown and the shallots begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Add the chicken stock, coconut yogurt, miso, mustard and sesame oil and stir together. Let cook, stirring occasionally, until the liquid reduces by about half, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
• Sprinkle filets on both sides with salt and pepper. Heat the remaining tablespoon canola oil in a medium heavy-bottomed saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the steaks and let sear, without moving, until browned, about 2 minutes. Turn the filets over and add the butter, thyme and garlic to the pan. Once the butter melts, begin basting the steaks with the butter until browned on the second side, 2 to 3 minutes more for medium-rare. Remove the steaks from the pan, pour over the pan sauce and let rest.
• Add the bok choy to the same pan and let brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the steak and any accumulated pan juices back in, along with the vinegar. Take the pan off the heat and add the tequila, then tilt the pan into the flame or use a match to carefully ignite the pan. Let the fire subside, then remove the pan from the heat. Divide the bok choy between 2 plates. Top each with a steak, then spoon the mushroom and sauce mixture over both steaks. Garnish with cilantro and serve.

Steps:

• Flatten the steaks with a meat mallet so they are about 1 1/2 inches thick. Season the steaks with salt and pepper on both sides.
• Heat the olive oil and butter in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot and the butter has melted, add the steaks and sear until well browned, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Set the steaks aside on a plate.
• To the same pan, add the garlic and shallot and cook, scraping the bottom of the pan to loosen any of the flavorsome steak residue into the mixture, for about 1 minute. Remove the pan from the heat and carefully add the brandy. (If the pan ignites, stand back and allow the flame to disappear, which it will in a few seconds.) Return the pan to the heat and bring to a simmer, scraping the bottom of the pan again. Simmer until the brandy is almost totally reduced, about 2 minutes. Add the broth, cream, mustard and Worcestershire sauce and stir to combine, then cook for a minute to thicken.
• Plate up the steak and pour over the sauce. Garnish with the parsley and chives and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Season steaks generously on both sides with salt. Allow steaks to come to room temperature while you make the sauce.
• Stir together demi-glace (see Cook's Note), mustard, Worcestershire sauce, tomato paste, and cayenne pepper in a bowl.
• Heat oil in a skillet over very high heat, swirling carefully to evenly cover surface. When oil reaches a smoking point, transfer steaks to oil; add a few chunks of butter. Sear meat on high heat until brown on each side, 2 to 3 minutes per side; keep them on the rare side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 125 degrees F (52 degrees C). Transfer steaks to a warm plate.
• Stir shallots into skillet; cook until softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove skillet from heat; pour in Cognac. Carefully ignite with a fireplace lighter. When alcohol burns off and flames go out, return skillet to high heat and bring to a boil; cook, stirring, a few minutes to reduce slightly. Add demi-glace mixture, cream, and any accumulated juices from the steak. Cook on high heat just until sauce starts to thicken, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer steaks back to pan and reduce heat to low. Gently simmer until meat is heated through and cooked to your desired level of doneness.
• Transfer to hot plates and serve with a generous spoonful or two of sauce. Sprinkle with chives.

Steps:

• Cook and stir shallots in 1 Tbsp. of the oil in large skillet on medium heat 5 minutes or until tender.
• Increase heat to high. Add remaining 1 Tbsp. oil to skillet. Add steak; cook 3 minutes on each side.
• Stir in steak sauce, capers and garlic; simmer 2 minutes or until steak is cooked through. Sprinkle with parsley before serving.

Steps:

• Directions:.
• Gently combine ground beef, 1 teaspoons of the Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Form into 4 patties, each 1-inch thick.
• Heat a large heavy skillet over medium heat. Add 1 Tbsp.of the butter and sear ground beef patties until browned on each side. Remove to a platter and keep warm.
• Add remaining 1 tablespoons of butter to the same skillet along with shallots and mushrooms. Saute until most of the liquid has evaporated and vegetables are soft.
• Carefully add red wine and stir often, scraping up browned bits, for 2 minutes until reduced. Stir in Dijon mustard, lemon juice, remaining 1-1/2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce, and cream. Cook an additional 2 minutes. Taste and adjust salt and pepper, if need be.
• Return beef patties, with any accumulated juices, to the sauce, turning to coat. Heat until warmed through, sprinkle with chives, and serve with pan sauce.

Steps:

• Heat butter and oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over medium heat until foam subsides. Meanwhile, pat steaks dry and sprinkle both sides with 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper (total). Cook steaks, turning once, until browned and medium-rare, 6 to 8 minutes total.
• While steaks cook, stir soup in can, then transfer 2/3 cup to a blender (reserve remainder for another use) and blend until very smooth, about 2 minutes.
• Transfer steaks to a cutting board and let stand, loosely covered, 10 minutes. Meanwhile, pour off all but 1 tablespoon fat from skillet and cook scallions over medium heat, stirring, until softened. Stir in blended soup along with remaining ingredients and any juices from meat and bring to a boil. Spoon some of sauce over steaks and serve remainder on the side.

Steps:

• Chop onion, mushrooms, and garlic. Prep can be done the day before.
• Place all items in the slow cooker and cook on low for 10-12 hours.
• Serve over rice or noodles.

Steps:

• Season the beef medallions on both sides with the salt and pepper.
• Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the meat and cook for 45 seconds on the first side. Turn and cook for 30 seconds on the second side. Add the shallots and garlic to the side of the pan and cook, stirring, for 20 seconds. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring, until soft, 2 minutes. Place the meat on a plate and cover to keep warm.
• Tilt the pan towards you and add the brandy. Tip the pan away from yourself and ignite the brandy with a match. (Alternatively, remove the pan from the heat to ignite, and then return to the heat.) When the flame has burned out, add the mustard and cream, mix thoroughly and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the veal stock and simmer for 1 minute. Add the Worcestershire and hot sauce and stir to combine. Return the meat and any accumulated juices to the pan and turn the meat to coat with the sauce.
• Remove from the heat and stir in the green onions and parsley. Divide the medallions and sauce between 2 large plates and serve immediately.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Place the bones in a large roasting pan and toss with the oil. Roast, turning occasionally, until golden brown, about 1 hour.
• Remove from the oven and spread the onions, carrots, celery, and garlic over the bones. Smear the tomato paste over the vegetables and return the pan to the oven. Roast for another 45 minutes. Remove from the oven and pour off the fat from the pan.
• Transfer the bones and vegetables to a large stockpot. Do not discard the juices in the roasting pan. Add the water, bay leaves, thyme, salt, and peppercorns to the stockpot and bring to a boil.
• Meanwhile, place the roasting pan over two burners on medium-high heat. Add the wine and stir with a heavy wooden spoon to deglaze and dislodge any browned bits clinging to the bottom of the pan. Add the contents to the stockpot. When the liquid returns to a boil, reduce the heat to low and simmer, uncovered, for 8 hours, skimming occasionally to remove any foam that rises to the surface.
• Ladle through a fine-mesh strainer into a large clean pot. Bring to a boil, reduce to a gentle boil, and cook, uncovered, until reduced to 6 cups in volume, about 1 hour. Let cool, then cover and refrigerate overnight.
• Remove any congealed fat from the surface of the stock. The stock can be stored, covered, in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or frozen in airtight containers for up to 2 months.

Steps:

• Cut beef into 3cm pieces.
• Heat oil in large pan and add beef in batches, cook stirring, until browned.
• Return beef and any juices to pan and add garlic and onion, cook, stirring until onion is soft.
• Add undrained crushed tomatoes, stock and sauce and simmer covered about 1 1/2 hours or until beef is tender.
• Add remaining ingredients, simmer uncovered about 5 minutes or until slightly thickened.
• Serve with pasta and extra chopped parsley.

Steps:

• Place each 3 oz piece of tenderloin between wax paper and pound with a mallet until the steak is about 1/2 inch thick.
• Pat meat with paper towel to dry; season with salt and pepper.
• In a large skillet, melt 3 Tbsp of the margarine and cook meat on medium to high heat for 2 minutes on each side.
• Remove the meat from skillet onto a plate and keep warm.
• In the same skillet, melt 2 Tbsp of margarine and saute the mushrooms, onion and garlic until veggies are semi-soft.
• Add the mustard powder and Worcestershire, mixing well.
• Add the meat to skillet and cook until meat is done to your liking.
• Remove the meat and keep warm; combine lemon juice and parsley in the skillet and cook until warmed.
• Pour sauce over the meat and garnish with chives; serve.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400. Place sheet of foil on 15 X 10 X 1-inch baking pan or cookie sheet. Place beef tenderloin on foil; tuck narrow end under. Turn edges of foil up around tenderloin to contain juices. Bake at 400 for 30-40 minutes for medium doneness.
• Meanwhile, in small bowl, combine broth and cornstarch; blend well. Set aside.
• Heat oil in small nonstick skillet until hot. Add onions; cook about 1 minute. Stir in parsley, pepper, mustard, and lemon juice. Add cornstarch mixture; cook and stir over medium heat for 4 - 6 minutes or until sauce is bubbly and slightly thickened.
• To serve, cut tenderloin into 1/2-inch slices. Serve sauce over slices.

Steps:

• Generously season the steaks all over with salt, then press them down slightly with the palm of your hand so they're roughly the same thickness. Heat the butter in a heavy-based frying pan over a medium-high heat until foaming, then add the thyme so it crackles and sizzles. Add the steaks and use tongs to turn them every 1 min over the course of 6 mins (for very rare), 8 mins (rare) or 10 mins (medium). This helps build an even crust on both sides. Remove the steaks to a warm plate and leave to rest while you make the sauce.
• Scatter the pepper over the butter and thyme already in the pan. Toast for 1 min, then stir in the shallots and cook for another minute until they start to soften. Turn the heat up to high and tilt the pan so the side is against the flame (if using a gas hob). Carefully splash in the brandy. Flambé the shallots until the flames have died down.
• Reduce the heat to medium and stir in the mustard and Worcestershire sauce. Bubble for a minute, then pour in the stock. Bring to the boil and cook for 2 mins until reduced by half. Stir in the crème fraîche and simmer until rich and creamy. Taste and add more salt if needed. Scoop out the thyme sprig, then return the steaks and any juices to the pan, spooning the sauce over the steaks. Sprinkle over the tarragon, if using. Bring the steaks to the table in the pan and serve drizzled with more sauce.
