We are wary of those who say wine can’t be good if it's not matured in oak/of a certain age/ made with a particular grape. There are lots of different styles of amazing beef, as there are with wine. We primarily judge beef from an eating perspective on flavour, juiciness and tenderness. We favour traditional breeds and longer, slower rearing that yields marbling in the meat and juiciness and flavour in the steak. Our approach is to principally serve beef grown in extensive or regenerative systems, typically raised on small family run farms in the UK and Ireland. I omited the Madeira due to preference.It is the sum of its parts, its breed and genetics, rearing, what it ate when, what climate it lived in, how healthy it was, whether it was male/female, how old it was, how it was handled, how it was slaughtered, aged, butchered and cooked. To me the worcestershire and mustard together may have been too much.Įxcellent! It was simple to prepare, required very little prep. I thought this sounded delicious, but imho the sauce had a bitter unpleasant taste. While the ingredients of a classic Steak Diane will always be a subject of discussion, even controversy, no 1950s date-night orderers of this dish EVER encountered puréed beans on their plates!!!Ī delicious and easy-week night favorite at our house. Call it something else if you want to present it.

Canned black beans in a Steak Diane recipe? Leave them out and the recipe is excellent. Epicurious, pull this farce of a recipe.īlack bean soup in Steak Diane?! Who in the WORLD thought up this atrocious addition. Refer to Julia Child's classic for this recipe. Whomever is responsible should be gutted and glazed with there own pudding. This is unconscionable, how low can Epicurious dumb down food. Get over yourself and give it a try!ĭon't critique it if you haven't made it and EATEN it. The black beans add more protein, no fat, and substance to the sauce. I do agree that this should not be called steak "Diane", but steak in "Delicious Brown Sauce" (with the addition of a splash of 🌶) would apply.
