Of all the retro recipes that have stood the test of time, steak Diane stands strong. It’s little wonder, too, with only six ingredients and the fact that it comes together in about ten minutes, Diane sauce tastes complex and grown up, yet comforting at the same time. The secret ingredient in Diane sauce is Worcestershire sauce. Made from over ten ingredients, including spices, anchovies, tamarind and molasses, Worcestershire puts the U in umami! This is then contrasted with sweet tomato sauce and tamed by thickened cream, making it ideal to enhance not only steak but also grilled chicken and pork or simply poured over hot chips. The ever-loved Diane sauce is as comfortable being served at a dinner party as it is eaten in a beer garden at the local. There’s a reason why our children’s children will be making this time-honoured sauce for years to come. We have plenty of recipes that use Diane sauce to give your meal extra oomph and a creative spin! Try our Steak Diane meatloaf, a Steak Diane pie topped with potato gems, this slow cooker chicken Diane recipe, and a veggie-filled pumpkin Diane.
