Slow Cooked Steak Diane Casserole sounds like a delightful twist on the classic Steak Diane dish! While Steak Diane is traditionally cooked quickly in a skillet, creating a casserole version involves a slower cooking process that allows the flavors to meld together beautifully. Here’s a simple recipe to try:
Ingredients:
- 1.5 pounds of beef sirloin or tenderloin, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 8 ounces of mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup beef broth
- Β½ cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons brandy or cognac (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped parsley for garnish
- Olive oil for cooking
Instructions:
- Prep the Slow Cooker: Grease the inside of your slow cooker with a little olive oil to prevent sticking.
- Sear the Beef: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a drizzle of olive oil. Season the beef pieces with salt and pepper, then sear them in the skillet until browned on all sides. Transfer the seared beef to the slow cooker.
- Saute the Aromatics: In the same skillet, add a bit more olive oil if needed, then sautΓ© the chopped onion and minced garlic until softened and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they release their juices and start to brown.
- Combine Ingredients: Transfer the sautΓ©ed onion, garlic, and mushrooms to the slow cooker with the beef. Pour in the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, and brandy (if using). Stir everything together to combine.
- Cook: Cover the slow cooker and cook on low heat for 6-8 hours or on high heat for 3-4 hours, until the beef is tender and the flavors have melded together.
- Finish: About 30 minutes before serving, stir in the heavy cream to thicken the sauce slightly. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
- Serve: Once the cooking time is up, sprinkle chopped parsley over the casserole before serving. You can serve this delicious Slow Cooked Steak Diane Casserole over mashed potatoes, rice, or noodles, accompanied by your favorite vegetables.
