The steak Diane at Cheesecake Factory is made with tender, pan-seared beef tenderloin steak medallions and a rich mushroom wine sauce. This copycat Cheesecake Factory steak Diane recipe tastes so much like the original for a fraction of the price.

Ingredients

4 beef tenderloin steaks (6 ounces each)
1 teaspoon coarsely ground pepper, divided
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons olive oil
8 ounces sliced baby portobello mushrooms
1/2 small onion, chopped
2 each garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon honey
1-1/2 cups sherry or Madeira wine
1/4 cup beef broth
2 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
Mashed potatoes, optional

Directions

Using kitchen string, tie a loop around each tenderloin steak. Pull tight; tie to secure. Sprinkle steaks with 1/2 teaspoon each pepper and salt. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add steaks; cook until meat reaches desired doneness, about 3-4 minutes on each side. Remove steaks from pan.
Add mushrooms and onion to skillet; cook and stir over medium-high heat until tender. Add garlic; cook 1-2 minutes longer. Stir in Worcestershire, Dijon and honey. Add wine and broth, stirring to loosen browned bits from pan. Bring to a simmer; cook and stir until sauce is slightly thickened, about 20 minutes.
Remove kitchen string from steaks; return to pan. Add butter, parsley, thyme and remaining 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Cook until steaks are heated through. If desired, serve with mashed potatoes.

Thinly sliced, tender pieces of steak seasoned with peppercorns are served with a juicy Madeira wine sauce to create the fan-favorite Steak Diane. Served with a side of perfectly mashed potatoes, there’s a reason why this dinner is a popular order at The Cheesecake Factory. —Lauren Habermehl, Pewaukee, Wisconsin
