The Easiest Steak Diane Sauce

My family sure does like its beef :).

We are very lucky in Australia to have a great beef industry and also the climate to barbecue it year round. That mean lots of opportunity to experiment in the kitchen.

Most days I look up recipes that make use of the plants I have in my kitchen garden and work backwards. So I am pleased to say that if like me you have never made Steak Diane before because it sounded complicated, we couldn’t have been more wrong.

Notes:

Serving directly

Cook your steak anyway you like it while you keep the sauce warm (I put some foil on the saucepan after taking it off the heat).

Drizzle, chomp and then sigh :).
