Steak Diane History

Answer 3

The dish is said to be named for Diane, the Roman Goddess of hunting; many game dishes also use her name. The origins of Steak Diane are shrouded in mystery. Food experts place its creation variously in Australia, Brazil, or New York.

Those in New York argue that Steak Diane evolved from steak au poivre in the 1950s, a period in American culinary history when waiters loved to play with fire.

Answer 4

Diana was the Roman Goddess of wild animals and the hunt. The sister of Apollo, she was praised for her strength, beauty, athletic prowess, and hunting skills. She was also deemed a protectorate of woman and became associated with chastity, marriage, and fertility.

Diana considered her body sacred. According to Roman mythology, one day she was bathing when a hunter happened to come upon her. Diana was outraged and turned the hapless hunter into a stag. This fable may explain why in many artistic depictions of Diana she is accompanied by a deer. And that my fellow gastronomes, brings us to Steak Diane.

In the 19th century sauces made “a la Diane” were dedicated to Diana and appropriately enough, originated as an accompaniment to venison. Sauce a la Diane was composed of cream, truffles, and ample amounts of black pepper. The first mention of Sauce Diane, (as opposed to a la Diane), comes from the culinary icon Auguste Escoffier in 1907. He added hard cooked egg white to the a la Diane formula.

When and where Steak Diane actually evolved has as many viewpoints as the United Nations. Although there is some consensus that it is American in origin, Brazil, Australia and Belgium are cited by other pundits. There’s an even wider array of recipes for Steak Diane. Perform an Internet search and you won’t find two recipes alike.

No point buying a $50 bottle of Cognac if it will just sit in your cabinet after using it one recipe.. Purchase the smallest bottle of brandy you can find at the liquor store. If your recipe only calls for a tablespoon or so, see if the shop has those little nips (miniature bottles).
