"This recipe was named for the Roman goddess of the hunt, Diana, and was originally a way of serving venison. It was probably invented in mid-20th century New York as part of the fad for tableside-flambéed dishes. Today, though, the preparation has come to mean sauteing filet mignon in butter and then flambeing and basting it in a rich Cognac sauce."

Step by Step Method
Step 1
Season the beef medallions on both sides with the salt and pepper.
Step 2
Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the meat and cook for 45 seconds on the first side. Turn and cook for 30 seconds on the second side.
This preparation yields medium-rare steaks - adjust according to your desired level of doneness!
Step 3
Add the shallots and garlic to the side of the pan and cook, stirring, for 20 seconds. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring, until soft, 2 minutes. Place the meat on a plate and cover to keep warm.
Step 4
Tilt the pan towards you and add the brandy. Tip the pan away from yourself and ignite the brandy with a match. (Alternatively, remove the pan from the heat to ignite, and then return to the heat.)
Step 5
When the flame has burned out, add the mustard and cream, mix thoroughly and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the veal stock and simmer for 1 minute. Add the Worcestershire and hot sauce and stir to combine.
Step 6
Return the meat and any accumulated juices to the pan and turn the meat to coat with the sauce.
Step 7
Remove from the heat and stir in the green onions and parsley. Divide the medallions and sauce between 2 large plates and serve immediately.
