on your counter ya need1 quart beef stockFour 6 to 8-ounce filet mignons1 tsp kosher salt1 tsp freshly cracked black pepper4 tbsps butter2 tbsps extra-virgin olive oil3 cups thinly sliced cremini mushrooms2 shallots, sliced4 cloves garlic, minced1/2 cup brandy1/2 cup dry red wine1 tbsp Dijon mustard1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
here’s how to doAdd 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 tbsps 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 tbsps butter to the sauce to melt.To serve, place a steak on each plate and pour the sauce over the steak. ~ courtesy of Guy Fieri
Supposedly named for the Roman goddess of the
hunt, Diana (or Diane) style was
originally a way of serving venison.
Through the years, though, the
preparation has come to mean sautéing thinly sliced
or pounded filet mignon in butter and then flambeing and
basting it in a rich Cognac sauce.
Cinnamon • Sugar 1.5 oz Hennessy V.S. Cognac
.5 oz Lemon juice 1 tsp Cranberry sauce (heaping tsp) 1 dash Fee Brothers Cranberry Bitters
Garnish: 1 Orange twist Let’s make one
Coat the rim of a Martini or coupe glass with a mixture of equal parts cinnamon and sugar,
and set aside.Add the remaining ingredients to a shaker and
fill with ice.Shake, and strain into the prepared glass.
Garnish with an orange twist.
Cranberry sauce pairs perfectly with cognac in this fruity Thanksgiving tipple
