Marsala Steak Sandwich Recipes

PAN-FRIED STEAK WITH MARSALA SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat a large, heavy skillet over high heat for 2 minutes, or until very hot. Season steaks with salt and pepper to taste.
• Place steaks in hot skillet and immediately turn down the heat to medium high. Cook for 4 minutes. Turn steaks and cook for an additional 4 to 6 minutes, depending on your tastes. Remove steaks from skillet to a platter and cover with aluminum foil to keep warm.
• Remove skillet from heat. Quickly saute the garlic for 1 to 2 minutes in the skillet using residual heat. Return skillet to medium low heat and add Marsala and chicken broth. Bring to a boil and reduce for 3 minutes.
• Remove pan from heat and whisk in butter and rosemary. Serve sauce over steaks.

STEAK MARSALA

Steps:

• To make sauce, melt the 2 tbs butter over medium high heat in a heavy skillet.
• Add the mushrooms and thyme and cook, stirring frequently, until mushrooms just begin to sear. Add the stock and stir, scraping up anything that stuck to the pan.
• Pour in the wine, cream and sugar. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 10-15 minutes or until sauce is reduced by half. Remove from heat and keep warm.
• In another heavy skillet, melt the 1 tbs of butter over high heat. Place the steaks in the pan and sear well on each side. My steaks were about 1/4-inch thick so they took less than 5 minutes and they were medium-well. Adjust the cooking time by the thickness of the steak and the amount of doneness you desire. For a 1/2-inch steak to medium, you'd probably sear 5 minutes each side.

• Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and season meat on both sides with salt and pepper. Sear the meat on both sides, and grill to about 128 degrees F internal temperature for medium-rare. Remove meat from grill and let rest.
• Strain Marsala sauce and whisk in butter to finish. Season with salt and pepper, as needed. Spoon the sauce over the grilled steaks, garnish with chopped chives, and serve.

CALIFORNIA STEAK SANDWICH

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, lime juice and brown sugar. Add steak and toss until coated. Marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours.
• Remove steak from marinade and pat dry with paper towels. Season lightly with salt (remembering there was soy sauce in the marinade) and pepper.
• To grill: Preheat grill to medium-high. Place on grill and cook steak to your liking, about 6 minutes per side for medium-rare. (Cooking time will vary due to thickness of your steak.).
• To broil: Preheat oven broiler to high. Place steak on a sheet pan and cook, turning once halfway, until cooked to your liking, about 6 minutes per side for medium-rare. (Cooking time will vary due to thickness of your steak.).
• For the onions: Cut the onion into 4 (1-inch thick) slices. Remove the outer ring of skin from each slice. Drizzle the sliced onion with light colored oil and season both sides with steak seasoning or salt and pepper, to taste. Grill on hot grill or on a nonstick griddle for 5 to 7 minutes on each side until onion is tender and has begun to caramelize. (I use a small metal skewer to hold the onions together) easier to flip over.
• For the Garlic bread: Combine the butter, chopped parsley and garlic in a food processor or with a mixer until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Spread on both sides of bread and place in a pan over medium heat until toasted, flip and repeat.
• For the seasoned Arugula: Place in a bowl, lightly squirt some olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
• Garlic toast, arugula, steak and top the steak with the caramelized onions and the other piece of garlic toast -- enjoy!
