Description

Prepare tender round steaks served with a rich, creamy sauce flavored with cognac.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 (6 ounce) round steaks, about 1/2 inch thick
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
  • 1/2 cup beef broth
  • 1/4 cup cognac
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Season the round steaks lightly with salt and pepper on both sides.
  2. Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Sear the steaks for 3 to 4 minutes per side for medium-rare, adjusting time for desired doneness. Remove steaks from the skillet and set aside, keeping them warm.
  4. Add the chopped onion to the same skillet and cook until softened, about 3 minutes.
  5. Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook until they release their moisture and brown, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  6. Pour in the beef broth and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let the broth reduce slightly, about 2 minutes.
  7. Carefully add the cognac to the skillet. Let it cook for 1 minute, allowing some of the alcohol to evaporate.
  8. Reduce the heat to low. Stir in the heavy cream and Dijon mustard. Simmer gently until the sauce thickens slightly, about 3 minutes. Do not boil.
  9. Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
  10. Return the steaks to the skillet and spoon the sauce over them. Heat through for 1 minute.
  11. Serve the steaks immediately, drizzled with the sauce and garnished with fresh parsley.

Notes

  • If you prefer not to use cognac, you can substitute it with dry sherry or an equal amount of beef broth mixed with 1 teaspoon of brandy extract.
  • For a smoother sauce, strain the sauce after adding the cream, before returning the steaks.
