Featured Recipe: Steak Diane with Egg Noodles
Traditional Steak Diane is prepared table-side in a flourish – butter, tenderloin, cream, brandy and a burst of flames. Quick by nature, it is easy to adapt to the desperation dinner table even during midweek madness.
We’ve lightened our rendition by using half and half. (If the extra calories aren’t a problem, the cream is delicious!) Since we don’t usually stock shallots, we’ve substituted scallions. (If you have shallots, feel free to use them.)
Even though brandy is also optional, (just use an additional 1/4 cup of broth), we hate to leave that out. The brandy really makes this dish exciting, not just because of the showy fireworks but also for the distinct flavor it imparts to the smooth and savory sauce. Serving our Desperate Diane over egg noodles helps make sure you don’t miss a single drop.

What you're saying..
I was thrilled to see your column in the Charlotte Observer this morning.
A friend gave me your first book as a Christmas present one year. I use it all the time. Actually, we had Two-for One Noodles last night. I've purchased all your books. When we moved, the cookbooks were packed up in storage. I went out and purchased more just to have them with me! I rely on them so much.
Just wanted you to know I’m a faithful follower.
Thanks,
