I googled it and found this:

Steak Mary Anne
This recipe is a favorite at Shula's On The Beach Steak House in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.


Serves 2

Butter Sauce
2 T unsalted butter, divided
2 T chopped shallots
1 cup heavy cream
3 cups strong beef boullion (4 boullion cubes dissolved in 3 cups hot water)
2 tsp. flour
1 T water
1 T green peppercorns
2 T Dijon mustard
salt and pepper to taste
Steak
2 5 oz. beef fillets, tenderloin steaks just under 1 1/2 inches thick
1 T flour
2 T unsalted butter




To make the sauce
Melt 2 teaspoons of butter in a heavy 2 1/3 - 3 quart saucepan over medium heat. Add the shallots and sauté about 2 minutes or until soft but not browned. Add the heavy cream and boullion, bring to a simmer, lower the heat and reduce by half, stirring occasionally. Mix the flour with the water and whisk into the simmering sauce. Let it cook until slightly thickened. Stir in the peppercorns. Whisk in the mustard and the remaining 4 teaspoons of butter, a teaspoon at a time. Add salt and pepper. Keep warm while finishing the fillets.
To cook the steaks
Trim the fillets and dust lightly on both sides with flour. In a heavy skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Sear the steaks for about 3-4 minutes per side or until well browned and done to a medium rare state. You can insert an instant reading meat thermometer horizontally into the center of a steak to make sure the temperature reads 145 - 150°F.

To serve
Place steaks on warmed serving dishes. Cover and surround with butter sauce.

I will say that we do Shula's in NYC just about every trip- and we have no problems splitting a salad and a steak (usually a filet mignon). The Shula's at WDW has a 'plate sharing' charge of $8 listed, but the one in NYC has never charged us to split the entree.

Everything is a la carte, but keep in mind that all of the sides are more than big enough to split (ie: a 3 lb. baked potato).

We will usually split the dessert too, with no problems.

HTH!!!

You're welcome!

I hope that it helps you to make the decision.....

Also, if you're coming as a family to WDW, Shula's is a restaurant that will validate babysitting charges (child care) at the Dolphin. So if you're thinking that child care is an additional expense, you have 2 hours free (I think).

Have fun!

I have no specific comment on the Steak Mary Anne, but wanted to mention that we too ate at Shula's in NYC (at the Westin Times Sq) just last week and it was great, as was our visits to Shula's in Miami Lakes and Shula's Steak 2...Our two visits to Shula's in Orlando have sadly not equaled our other experiences.

That's the one Peter-

Isn't it great? We love going there... the staff is so nice and not stuffy at all!

We ate at Shula's a couple years ago, split an appetizer and got the souffle for dessert, split a side and an entree. We weren't charged the sharing fee. Portions were HUGE and the food was really good, but it was expensive.
