How to Flambé: Steak Diane and Cherries Jubilee | Melissa Clark | NYT Cooking

Melissa Clark is here! And she’s playing with fire - literally. You’ll learn how to flambé, which is when you set alcohol on fire to reduce the alcohol content and condense flavor. It’s the main technique you’ll use when making Melissa’s recipes for Steak Diane and Cherries Jubilee, as well as several other show-stopping dishes.

Always and forever obsessed with Melissa Clark

[@dvdbsh]

Fun video but I was looking forward to the baked Alaska!

[@testdriveguy]

Melissa Clark is the best. She needs more videos, longer videos. When she was one of the only videographers for the NY Times I watched every one. Now I skip most of them -- except for hers!

[@aldenkarr1851]

Where's the Baked Alaska?

[@stangmeister]

Exactly!

[@roberts.4582]

Melissa Clark is so winning! She's a relaxed, enthusiastic, yet thorough teacher, who takes the trepidation out of elevated cuisine. She's warm and funny and always conveys a sense of her joy in cooking. Bravo!!!

[@ScreamingSicilian70]

Classic table side cooking. I used to do that.
People LOVE fire 🔥🔥🔥

[@Debba521]

That Steak Diane looks a real winner! I'd love to try that. Thanks for such a fun and yummy vlog!

[@hugokelvin6048]

Hi, how are you doing today? Hope your day is beautiful as you ??

[@Vitamin_jp]

@@hugokelvin6048you’re fucking weird

[@jerryhong4304]

This woman is amazing. What’s not to love?!?

[@rebeccahenderson9065]

If you opened a restaurant that only served steak diane and cherries jubilee I would absolutely go there

[@aliciaf1055]

No cornstarch and no almond extract makes this Cherries Jubilee sound much nicer than the old school ones!

[@bradleyhoney9831]

Melisa is too fun!

[@JP-nl6lb]

You're so cool Melissa!

[@ferndeininger6150]

God I love Melissa Clark

[@richardg4764]

So you pat the stead dry after you seasoned it with salt & pepper. There goes the seasoning ?

[@Ozzie-in-CT]

Love Melissa Clark. She’s truly a flaming redhead. Spectacular cook as well. Why no shrooms for the Steak Diane? Pretty traditional isn’t it? Also adds umami which she supplemented with fish sauce.

[@1001reasons1968]

'...I really, really like to eat that fat.' 😆 Same 😊😊

[@jazzynotjeff]

Love Melissa's attitude and her recipes, but I'm pretty sure that combining butter and oil doesn't actually increase the smoke point of the cooking fat. There was a video talking about this saying that since there is just less butter in general, there's less to burn/smoke, but that there are still those milk solids in the butter so they will still burn. I totally still do butter+oil too, but that's just food for thought.

[@dr.allanlevandowski3720]

You make fun fun

💯

I love my Steak Diane sweatshirt by Katie Kimmel ❤🥩

[@jml4774]

I just want her to come to my house and make me some cherries jubilee and baked Alaska.

[@rockpooladmirer]

yall can clearly afford to hire someone to do proper closed captions yet continue to ignore requests for them on every single video. it's getting tiring. accessibility isn't optional and excluding disabled people by virtue of not caring to add CCs isn't a morally neutral act

[@Maltbrew]

You can move/flip the steak though.

[@Vitamin_jp]

Is this comment section botted? I’ve not seen a comment section where so many people are saying such similar things about liking the host

[@blake6291]

She really grabbed a raw steak then touched the pepper mill without washing her hands…

[@brianwooton1992]

Steak doesn't have the salmonella problem that poultry does. But I also would have washed my hands just from good habits.

[@blake6291]

@@brianwooton1992 E Coli is still very much a concern.

[@facelessman5362]

Also she didn't taste is fork has no food on it..

[@Vitamin_jp]

@@facelessman5362you’re weirdly right about that

[@facelessman5362]

She tasted air?

[@Vitamin_jp]

Wait wtf you’re right haha

Hello new subscribe friend

Hair down 😮😮😮

I'll have what she's having 🤪🏥

[@JohnFitzpatrickx]

Love Melissa but that’s the most boring flambé technique ever

[@curtisrobinson7962]

And yet you watched all the way to the end of the video I assume?

[@ScreamingSicilian70]

Too safe 😂
A ladle?
C'mon Melissa!
