This elegant dish has been a four-star restaurant classic for decades. Perfect for a special occasion or romantic dinner for two.
Why Try? When’s the last time you had a chance to wow your guests by flaming the dish?
Foodie Byte: To create a better flaming effect, make sure to get the brandy very hot, and tilt your pan a bit to “puddle” the brandy. The flame will burn off in a few seconds.
Preparation
- Pound steaks between 2 pieces of waxed paper until 1/4-inch thick. Dredge steaks in flour mixed with salt and pepper.
- In large skillet melt 1 tablespoon butter. Add steaks; brown about 1 minute on each side; remove steaks to a platter. Spread both sides with mustard and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon Worcestershire; set aside.
- In same skillet melt remaining butter. Add mushrooms and shallots; sauté for 2 minutes. Add brandy and flame. Stir in broth and remaining Worcestershire. Cook and stir until hot.
- Return steaks to skillet and reheat for 2 minutes.
- Sprinkle with parsley, if desired. Yield: 4 portions or substitute cubed or individual portions of beef round steaks, pounded.
