FAMOUS 21 CLUB'S STEAK DIANE

Steps:

• Trim all outside fat off the steak. The steak should now weigh about 12 ounces.
• Cut the steak in half horizontally, creating 2 6-ounce steaks.
• Pound the steaks lightly to flatten them to 1/4-inch thick. Season them on both sides with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
• Heat a 12-inch skillet until a drop of water dances on the surface.
• Add 1 tablespoon of the butter. As soon as the foam subsides, add the seasoned meat.
• Cook on each side for 1 minute. Remove to a plate. Immediately adjust the heat under the pan to low.
• Add the second tablespoon of butter and the shallots. Sauté the shallots for 1 minute.
• Increase the heat to high. Add 3 tablespoons cognac and flambé, if desired.
• Add the wine, and with a wooden spoon, scrape up any browning in the pan (deg laze the pan). Stir in the mustard and A-1 sauce.
• Cook for about a minute, or until the liquid is reduced to a syrup. Add the broth and continue to boil for about a minute, until reduced to a few tablespoons.
• Add the cream and stir well to incorporate. Boil a few seconds.
• Taste for seasoning and add freshly ground pepper to taste. Add the remaining cognac and ignite. When the flames die down, stir in the chives, taste for salt and pepper, and adjust if necessary.
• Add the reserved steaks and their juices (that have accumulated on the plate) to the simmering sauce.
• Turn the steaks in the sauce a couple of times, as the sauce reduces a little more. Place the steaks on individual plates.
• Divide the sauce on the steaks. Serve with mashed potatoes or brown rice, and some bread to mop up the sauce.

MARINATED CLUB STEAKS

Steps:

• Combine marinade ingredients in large zip top bag. Add steaks. Press out as much air as possible and seal. Refrigerate 2-6 hours, turning several times.
• Drain steak from marinade and bring to room temperature. Grill or broil 6-8 minutes on each side.

STEAKHOUSE STEAKS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Heat a large, well-seasoned cast iron skillet over high heat until very hot, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Meanwhile, pat the steaks dry with a paper towel and brush them lightly with vegetable oil. Combine the fleur de sel and cracked pepper on a plate and roll the steaks in the mixture, pressing lightly to evenly coat all sides.
• When the skillet is ready, add the steaks and sear them evenly on all sides for about 2 minutes per side, for a total of 10 minutes.
• Top each steak with a tablespoon of butter, if using, and place the skillet in the oven. Cook the steaks until they reach 120 degrees F for rare or 125 degrees F for medium-rare on an instant-read thermometer. (To test the steaks, insert the thermometer sideways to be sure you're actually testing the middle of the steak.)
• Remove the steaks to a serving platter, cover tightly with aluminum foil and allow to rest at room temperature for 10 minutes. Serve hot with Roquefort Chive Sauce on the side.
• Bring the heavy cream to a boil in a small heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook at a low boil, stirring occasionally, until the mixture has become thick and creamy, about 20 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat, add the cheese, salt, pepper and chives and whisk rapidly until the cheese melts.
• Yield: 4 servings
