Great steak at WDW

I can vouch for Wave of American Flavors at the Contemporary. I believe it's one dining credit. And I took my 7 and 5 year old there last year.

In the one credit range I can recommend the NY strip either at the Grand Floridian Café or at Whispering Canyon in the Wilderness Lodge. In addition, the Ale and Compass in the Yacht Club has a good T-Bone. All are in the $35.00 range.
The view from the Yachtsman may be of the pool and one can certainly see people in their bathing suits through the windows, but in the many, many times I’ve had a nice meal there, I’ve never seen anyone seated and dining in their swimwear.
They don’t make you wear a jacket over your shirt, and no tie is required for sure, but I think they draw the line a good bit past bathing suits.

@tbaker84, I can heartily recommend the steak at the Yachtsman and I know that they accommodate small children. I’m not sure if it’s 1 or 2 credits, though, because I’ve never done the dining plan. Just don’t expect to have dinner in your swimsuits (please). 
Ale & Compass is also a fantastic option, I’m sure, although the last time I ate there with kids it was Captains Grille. But if the staff are the same, you and your children will feel very welcome there. Had dinner there once with my cousins and their “not yet tweens”, and we gave the wait staff a huge tip because they were so good with the kids, they whisked them off to some “kids only” area in the restaurant and not only did the grownups have a lovely evening, we had to tear the children away from the waitstaff and their new friends. I hope they kept that element when they refurbed the restaurant into A&C

The OP specifically asked for a 1 credit meal. Yachtsman is signature dining so 2 credits. And I must agree with @Tiggerish I have never once seen anyone dining with a swimsuit on or “straight from the pool”.
My vote is for Grand Floridian Cafe.

My wife used to work for Swan and Dolphin and they had a program for her to learn the restaurants. She had a voucher for a free meal at each of the restaurants at the resort which covered basically anything on the menu at each for both of us. So obviously we tried the best options at each one. Shula’s definitely had a great steak. I was a little surprised though by Il Mulino. I normally wouldn’t go for a steak at an Italian restaurant, but being it was free I chose the steak. It was great, and personally I thought it was surprisingly better than Shula’s

Disney world isn’t really a steak place
STK at Disney Springs, although not a single credit.

As you are using DDP - best choice is Yachtsman.
BEST steak is Shula's - Dolphin. TIW accepted, no DDP.

Coincidentally - or hypocritically - I mentioned in another thread that I don't eat a lot of steak outside of my trips to WDW and when I do I tend to stick to filet mignon (I try not to be snobbish, I just figure if I'm going to eat steak that infrequently, try to get a really good cut). However, the last non-filet I had, I really enjoyed it, it was at Turf Club at Saratoga. Not the most convenient place to get to but if you have a day or evening planned to shop at Disney Springs it's a short boat ride away. 1 credit meal, never terribly crowded outside of perhaps the busiest times of year.
I've never eaten the Strip at Sanaa in Kidani Village but I've heard good things, and being as the windows overlook one of the savannahs, there's a chance of a very pretty view of some of the animals you're currently eating whoops did I type that out loud?
There's also a strip loin at Kona, and a tenderloin at The Wave.

I do eat a bit of steak outside of WDW, and I try to stay far away from filet mignon (I prefer something with more flavor). I was going to mention the Turf Club as well. Turf Club is far from a stellar stand out, but there is also nothing wrong with it. The NY Strip there is pretty good (remembering this is WDW and tempering your expectations accordingly) and as you said, it is easy to get a table, and is quite kid friendly.

Agreed... I never order Filet... Doesn't have the flavor a rib eye does or many other cuts...
