Tenderloin Steak Diane

* recipe adopted from The Butchers Club

Ingredients (for approx 4 pax):

Tenderloin (of your choice) 200g x 4pc
4 shallots - peeled and finely chopped
150g button mushrooms thinly sliced
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tbsp salted butter
2 tbsp worchester sauce
2 tsp mustard
1/4 cup brandy
200ml double cream
parsley minced


How to Cook:

1. Wash and wipe dry your beef. Season with salt and black pepper.

2. Heat up your frying pan, then add a little bit of olive oil + 1tbsp of butter. Pan fry your beef, 2 min on each side. At this stage we just want to brown the beef on both sides. Then remove beef to a plate cover with a foil. The beef will continue to cook on its own on the plate.

3. Add olive oil and the rest of the butter to the steak pan at medium fire, then stir fry the shallots and garlic until soft and fragrant. Then add the mushrooms. 

4. Add the worchester sauce and bring to boil. Turn up the heat and tilt the pan away from you and add the brandy. Tilt it right towards the edge of the pan and allow it to set on fire from the gas ring. Then turn down the heat, add the mustard and double cream and bring it to a light boil. Check tasting and adjust accordingly with adding more salt or worchester sauce, etc.

5. Put the beef with the juices on the plate back to the pan and cook till the beef reaches the temperature you require, eg. medium rare, medium, etc. When ready, add the chopped parsley on top and ready to serve!

Enjoy with rice or pasta or on its own! Don't forget your favourite red wine!
