Instructions
- Heat a large stainless steel or cast iron pan to medium-high heat.
- Pat the medallions very dry with paper towels and season well with kosher salt and pepper.
- Add the oil to the hot pan and once shimmering add the beef medallions. Cook undisturbed for 90-120 seconds per side then remove to a plate and lightly tent with foil.
- To the same pan, add the mushrooms and saute until they release their water and start to brown (about 5 minutes).
- Add the shallots and butter and cook for another 2 minutes then add the tomato paste and cook for 1 more minute, stirring frequently.
- Remove the pan from the heat and add the cognac. Place the pan back on the heat and turn the heat to medium-high. Cook until the cognac is almost evaporated (~2 minutes) while scraping the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon to dislodge all of the brown bits.
- Add the beef stock, cream, mustard, and Worcestershire sauce to the pan. Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook until the sauce coats the back of a spoon (~2-3 minutes).
- Test the sauce and season with salt and pepper to taste. Add the medallions and accumulated juices back to the pan and cook until warmed through (about 2 minutes). Top with parsley and chives and serve immediately. Enjoy!
Notes
- The beef medallions only need 90-120 seconds per side for medium rare, but cook to your liking.
- The cognac can be flamed with a long match, but this isn't necessary and it will not drastically change the flavor of the sauce. Be especially careful if deciding to flame the cognac.
- Steak Diane is best eaten right away instead of for leftovers.
