Sunday Night: Steak Diane

We were out of town all weekend and, after a day of hiking at Pinnacles, I didn't have energy for anything involved. So on the way back we stopped at WF and got a nice ribeye, which I coated with black pepper, seared in olive oil and butter, then finished in the oven. I made the sauce (derived from FStoS) by deglazing with cognac and adding grainy mustard and some cream. We had the steak with green beans and mashed potatoes. I think it's worth revisiting this sauce with a nice beef stock instead of the cream, but it was damn good as it stands.
