Steak the 8 Trane has the same chord changes as Take the A Train. The tune is very popular and became the signature tune of the Duke Ellington Orchestra. Composed in 1941 by Billy Strayhorn it is listed by JazzStandards.com as the 23rd most recorded jazz standard. There is an interesting history of how this tune was created included being plucked from the waste paper bin by Duke's son Mercer Ellington and the title name being inspired by subway directions for Billy Strayhorn to get to Duke Ellington's house in Harlem.  Its form is AABA form and much of the harmony is similar to the tunes Exactly Like You from the ‘30s and Girl from Ipanema from the ‘60s. The February 1941 recording by the Duke Ellington Orchestra is the version that most people know. It has a great introduction and some amazing solos that are often played verbatim. The ‘shout chorus’ is very popular and the ending phrase of the tune appears on many other songs.
