Description

Beef Fillet Diane with Velvety Sauce is a luxurious dish featuring tender beef fillets seared to perfection and served with a rich, creamy sauce infused with mushrooms and brandy.


Ingredients

  • Beef fillet: 2 pieces (about 200-250 grams each)
  • Dijon mustard: 2 tablespoons
  • Worcestershire sauce: 1 tablespoon
  • Shallots: 2, finely chopped
  • Mushrooms: 200 grams, sliced (preferably button or cremini)
  • Heavy cream: 1 cup (240 ml)
  • Brandy: 1/4 cup (60 ml)
  • Fresh parsley: 2 tablespoons, chopped (for garnish)
  • Salt and pepper: to taste
  • Olive oil: 2 tablespoons (for cooking)

Instructions

  1. Season the beef fillets generously with salt and pepper on both sides and spread Dijon mustard over the top.
  2. Sauté chopped shallots and sliced mushrooms in the same skillet until shallots are translucent and mushrooms are browned.
  3. Add brandy to the skillet, scraping up browned bits, and let it simmer until the alcohol evaporates.
  4. Heat olive oil in the skillet and sear the beef fillets, cooking for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare.
  5. Remove the fillets and let them rest, then return them to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them to coat.
  6. Plate the beef, drizzle with sauce, and garnish with fresh parsley.

Notes

  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure the beef is cooked to your desired doneness.
  • Let the beef rest after cooking to allow juices to redistribute.
  • High-quality ingredients make a significant difference in flavor.
  • Season at every stage of cooking for the best flavor.
