Bonnies Awesome Steak Diane Recipes

Steps:

• 1. I served this dish with a couple of cups of steamed rice that was seasoned with 2 teaspoons of chicken soup base and cooked in the rice cooker. I started the rice first because it takes longer cook than the chicken.
• 2. If you get your ingredients together for the sauce, and set them aside, then get the chicken cooking, steam your broccoli and get your rice cooker going with the rice, then it only takes about 7 minutes to make the sauce. You want to have everything done before you put the sauce ingredients in the skillet. Then it all comes together like magic. :) This really is a very easy recipe if you prep first.
• 3. COOK THE CHICKEN Trim the fat and remove skin from the chicken. Boneless thighs works in this recipe, but you could use bone in if you have them. I did.
• 4. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Season both sides of skinless thighs with kosher salt and coarse black pepper and place the chicken in a large skillet with 2 tablespoons of oil.
• 5. Fry seasoned thighs until golden brown on one side.
• 6. Turn the thighs, and then cover with a glass lid over the chicken. Once the underside browns, turn the heat to very low and keep the lid on.
• 7. MAKE THE SAUCE Melt 6 tablespoons butter in the medium skillet over lowest heat.
• 8. Saute the mushrooms, green onions, garlic, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, dry mustard, salt and parsley in the 6 tablespoons of butter in the medium skillet. Saute 7 to 10 minutes. It will thicken slightly on its own.
• 9. SERVE IMMEDIATELY! Ladle rice on the plate, place a chicken thigh on top, and spoon sauce over the cooked chicken. I served the chicken with broccoli and sliced tomatoes on the side. Here is how it looks! Enjoy!

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:

• 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.
