By the 1940s, Steak Diane was a common item on the menus of restaurants popular with CafÃ© society, including the restaurants at the Drake and Sherry-Netherland hotels and The Colony. It is often attributed to Chef Beniamino Schiavon, 'Nino of the Drake'. Preparation. Steak Diane is similar to steak au poivre.

Ingredients vary; they may include butter, mushrooms, mustard, shallots, cream, truffles, meat stock, A1 Steak Sauce, and Worcestershire sauce.
