Last night Alex and I made Steak Diane and these Cloverleaf Rolls from One Perfect Bite.


Ingredients:
  • 2 beef steaks 
  • black pepper
  • salt
  • Olive oil
  • 2 shallots, diced
  • cremini mushrooms, sliced 
  • Butter
  • 1 clove garlic, crushed 
  • Worcestershire sauce 
  • Dijon mustard 
  • Cognac
  • heavy cream
  • Flat leaf parsley 
Directions:
  • Using a rolling pin, roll out the steaks to flatten and cut off any excess fat
  • Season the steaks on both sides with salt and pepper
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet
  • Brown the steaks on both sides for about a minute per side
  • Set steaks aside to rest 
  • Add more olive oil if needed 
  • Saute shallots until soft 
  • Add mushrooms and table spoon of butter and heat for about a minute 
  • Add garlic, Worcestershire sauce, and mustard.  
  • Heat through for a minute 
  • Turn up heat and tilt pan away from you 
  • Pour in the cognac into the far end and allow it to ignite.  (we has to ignite with a match since we have an electric stove)
  • Once the alcohol has burned off, swirle the juice around the pan
  • Add cream and allow the sauce to thicken
  • Turn down heat 
  • Add steaks back into the pan
  • Cook until done to your taste.  
  • Add chopped parsley 
  • Serve
