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. The steak is either cut thinly, or pounded thin so that it will cook rapidly. It is seasoned and quickly sautÃ©ed in butter. A sauce is prepared from the pan juices. Ingredients vary; they may include butter, mushrooms, mustard, shallots, cream, truffles, meat stock, A1 Steak Sauce, and Worcestershire sauce.
Peek at the underside of the steak every 60 seconds or so until a nice row of grill marks appears. Note how long it took to get those grill marks on the timer/stopwatch. It should take three to six minutes depending on the heat of the grill. Rotate (not flip) the steak 45 degrees and allow the steak to sear for as long as it took to get the first set of grill marks. Now is the time to flip and repeat the process on the other side. Once the steak has cross-hatch grill marks on both sides, send it to the side with no heat.
