Easy Steak Diane Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 lb strip steak
• 1/2 tablespoon of cornstarch
• 1/2 tablespoon of Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons of ground black peppercorns
• 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil
• 1/4 teaspoon of soy sauce
• 1/2 cup of beef stock
• 1/4 cup of minced shallots
• 1/4 cup of Worcestershire sauce
• 1/4 cup of flat leaf parsley, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon of lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon of Madeira or Port

Instructions:

In a small bowl, combine the beef stock, cornstarch and mustard together and stir. Then, set it aside..

Put the ground peppercorns on a plate and add the soy sauce and olive oil. We are going to coat the steak with this mixture.

Dip both sides of the steak in the peppercorn mixture. Make sure all sides are evenly coated and all the peppercorns are used. Pour a tablespoon of olive oil in a pan over high heat.

Once the oil is hot, sear the steak, cooking each side for about 2-3 minutes to your choice of doneness.. Remove from the pan, set aside and reduce the heat. Let rest for 5 minutes. Slice into thin strips across the grain.

Using the same oil and pan, add the shallots and parsley and stir.

Then, add the cornstarch mixture, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce and Madeira (or Port). Stir for about a minute.
