A couple of weeks ago I posted a recipe for the salad dressing from the Mayfair Hotel in St. Louis. You can find that recipe here. Lynney commented that she loved the Steak Diane from that hotel, so I set about to find the recipe. Last night I made that Steak Diane, and I have to tell you that it is restaurant quality, and couldn’t be easier. It literally took no longer, including prep time, than 15 minutes. A baked potato, and broccoli blanched in boiling water for four minutes and seasoned it to my liking, made for an excellent meal. Don’t wait for a special occasion to make this, treat yourself.
Mayfair Hotel’s Steak Diane
1 10-oz. boneless sirloin steak (about 1” thick)
Butter
2 Melissa’s shallots, finely chopped
4 fresh mushroom caps, sliced
1 t. Worcestershire sauce
2 T. brandy
Trim almost all fat from steak. Preheat a skillet until hot enough to sizzle a drop of water. Add just enough butter to prevent sticking. Brown steak quickly on one side, about 1 minute.
Reduce heat to medium. Add shallots or mushrooms; cook
2 minutes. Turn steak; cook about 6 minutes or until steak reaches desired
doneness.
Tip the pan toward you; add Worcestershire sauce and brandy. Tip the pan away from you; carefully light with a long-handled match. (Or remove the pan from the heat while you light the brandy and then return it to the burner.) Slide the pan back and forth while the sauce blazes to blend well.
When flame is almost extinguished, transfer the steak to a warm plate. Spoon sauce over the steak.

That steak looks so delicious and the mushroom, shallot sauce makes it irresistable. Everything you show us here always looks great and makes me crave it.
Looks like a nice simple but decadent meal. My father was a steak and potato man and it was one of his favorite meals.
We eat steak once a month or so. This would be a treat!
What a delicious looking steak. I thought for sure it was going to be a filet but I see it is sirloin! Because of you I eyed the brandies at the liquor store last time we were there, and the clerk said "using it for cooking?" Maybe I don't look like a brandy drinker? :D
That looks like the one from the star restaurant!
I've heard of Steak Diane but -- and this is a bit embarrassing -- never knew what it was. Now that I'm informed, it looks and sounds delicious. I love that you treated yourself to this dish and urged us to do the same. Your pic is indeed a testament to your restaurant quality result. Well done (pun intended)! :)
Wow, you are brave Pattie, I would probably light my kitchen on fire 😂 Very fancy!
