A Great Find in Steak Diane

A number of years ago I traveled to the U.K. for work. Over the years I've been there about 15 times and each time I would set out looking for new restaurants to try.  I can honestly say that there were not that many good restaurants in the area I was in as the food was usually bland and overcooked.  On my way to the office each day I passed a small but tidy looking restaurant.  I decided one night that I would take a chance and made it down to the restaurant.  I immediately greeted with the nicest team of people who truly wanted to serve.  I asked for recommendations and they gave me their best choice...Steak Diane.  It was a little pricey but they said the work involved and the results of the steak would be more than worth it.  So, I said yes I want to go with that choice.  In 20 minutes I was elbows deep in some of the best eating I think I have ever had in the U.K.  The meat was amazing and the sauces were just phenomenal.  This was truly the best thing I'd had in all my many trips to the U.K. and surrounding areas.

Within a few days I'd told my friends about the restaurant.  I had a work crew that was fitting out a computer room and after a long day of great work I decided to reward my team with an excellent meal.  We were able to get in and I mean barely as the restaurant had become quite popular.  That night steak after steak was consumed and the team couldn't believe how good the food was at the restaurant.  I found that many of them had the same issues I had in that it was so difficult to find a decent restaurant.  But no longer was their search in vain.  Over the next year I'd heard from 4 or 5 of them who said they had been to the restaurant more that one and also brought their team members.  

From that experience I was able to speak with the owner and he shared with me the details of the meal. That same recipe is what we use on this page.  Plan ahead and take the time you need to make one of the best meals you'll ever have I would you will not regret it.
