Steak Marsala Recipes

SIRLOIN STEAK WITH MUSHROOM MARSALA SAUCE

Steps:

• Begin the Marsala sauce by heating the olive oil in a large saute pan. Cook the shallots (or onion) and mushrooms gently until they become translucent. Deglaze the pan with the wine and add the stock and fresh thyme. Allow to reduce by two-thirds.
• 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.

STEAK MARSALA WITH CAULIFLOWER MASH

Steps:

• Combine 2 cups water, the cauliflower, whole rosemary sprig and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a pot and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce the heat to low and cook until the cauliflower is very tender, about 10 minutes. Drain and transfer to a food processor, discarding the rosemary. Add the cheese and 1 tablespoon butter and puree. Transfer to a bowl and fold in the chives; season with salt and pepper. Cover to keep warm.
• Season the steaks on both sides with salt and pepper. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over high heat until foamy and starting to brown, about 1 minute. Add the steaks and cook until browned, about 1 1/2 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.
• Add 1 tablespoon butter to the skillet. Reduce the heat to medium high and add the shallot, garlic and chopped rosemary. Cook, stirring, 30 seconds. Add the mushrooms and cook until tender, about 3 minutes. Add the wine; cook until reduced by half, about 2 minutes. Add the chicken broth; cook until thickened, about 4 minutes. Add the steaks and any accumulated juices and the remaining 1 tablespoon butter to the skillet. Cook, turning the steaks to coat, 1 minute. Serve with the cauliflower puree.

MARSALA MARINATED SKIRT STEAK

Steps:

• Whisk Marsala wine, ketchup, garlic, kosher salt, rosemary, and black pepper together in a large glass or ceramic bowl. Add skirt steak and turn to evenly coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, and marinate in the refrigerator, 8 hours to overnight.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat, and lightly oil the grate.
• Remove steak from marinade, shake off excess, and discard marinade.
• Cook steak on the preheated grill until meat shines, 3 to 4 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 130 degrees F (54 degrees C). Transfer meat to a plate and let rest at least 5 minutes before slicing against the grain.

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.
