I’ve always been a huge fan of Diane sauce and a lot of the Diane sauce recipes that I find online never seemed to taste the same as the Diane sauce recipe from the local pub.
It seems to be one of those recipes where everyone has theirs in a unique way of making it to best suit their individual tastes.
After scouring through recipes online I managed to track down a few Diane source recipes that taste amazing and can be made with ingredients that you are likely to have stacked at the back of your pantry.
Yes, I’m talking about you Worcestershire sauce that barely sees the light of day.

What is the history of Diane sauce?
Diane Sauce is believed to have originated in France during the early 20th century and is named after the roman goddess of the hunt.
Which is fitting as it is typically served with meat.
Diane sauce surged in popularity within the United States during the 20th century with Worcestershire sauce and Dijon mustard becoming staple ingredients.
Diane sauce is now a staple sauce in most Australian pub meals.
Can I store Diane sauce?
Diane sauce is able to be stored in the fridge for up to 5 days and should be reheated on low heat with frequent stirring.
Avoid microwaving the mixture as it will fail to maintain its texture and may become lumpy or grainy.
Freezing Diane sauce is also an option and can be frozen for up to 3 months in a freezer-safe container.
Make sure to add a date to the container so you can keep track of time.
To effectively thaw the sauce allow it to sit in the fridge overnight.
Once thawed out add the sauce to a saucepan and reheat on a stove top by stirring regularly.
Is Diane sauce any good on hot chips?
I absolutely love having Diane sauce on hot chips.
The sauce provides a fantastic savoury blend of flavours that pairs incredibly well with hot chips.
I would be very well off if I had a dollar for every time I ordered steak and chips at the pub with Diane sauce and the sauce almost entirely disappears before I get to the steak.
Is Diane sauce a BBQ sauce?
Diane sauce makes a fantastic addition to any BBQ due to its pairing with commercial and game meats.
Any of the two recipes listed above would make fantastic additions to a weekend BBQ.
That concludes our Diane sauce recipe. One recipe for when you’re chilling at home and are a bit strapped for things in the pantry and one recipe if you’re looking to get a bit fancy and impress the neighbours with your flambe skills.
