Steak Diane the Fall from Grace

Steak Diane is a classic dish that was popular in the mid-20th century. The dish typically consists of a thin cut of beef, such as filet mignon. Pan-fried and then topped with a sauce made from butter, shallots, mushrooms, and sometimes cognac or brandy.

There are several reasons why dish may not be as commonly found on menus today. One reason could be that tastes and culinary trends change. Now restaurants are offering more diverse and globally-inspired menus that feature a wider range of ingredients and flavors.

Additionally, the dish may have fallen out of favor due to the perception that it is old-fashioned or associated with a bygone era of fine dining. Some restaurants may also choose not to offer Steak Diane due to the cost of the ingredients. And the complexity of preparing the dish to order is an issue.

However, it’s worth noting that some restaurants and chefs still prepare Steak Diane and it can still be found on some menus. As with any dish, its popularity may ebb and flow over time. But it remains a classic and iconic dish in the culinary world.
