Libyan Soup again...
I'm going to cut you all off if someone doesn't try this and comment.

and Steak Diane PS - yes - it works fine without cream, - THO you have to watch that shallots don't burn since there is no liquid - and the steaks do have to cook a bit more. I might add a splash of vermouth (or white or red wine) to help with this next time. Could also use beef broth. I didn't use cream, becuase I didn't have any....
