Remember chopped steak from your childhood, when you went to a steakhouse with your parents and you thought you were so fancy! Here is an updated version that I know you will love. Lean chopped sirloin is mixed with onion, egg, seasonings, breadcrumbs, and Worcestershire, grilled to perfection and topped with a mushroom, Marsala sauce that is so luscious and this masterpiece is ready in under 30 minutes! Not the same as when we were kids thank God! You'll love this recipe, I like to shape the patties into ovals rather than rounds because that's the way I remember them! Just please remember not to overwork the meat while mixing in the ingredients so it remains tender, and it's better to cook to medium rare.
Ingredients
  • 1 Tbs of olive oil
  • 2 finely diced shallots, or 1 small yellow onion, finely diced
  • 1½ pounds of mushrooms, cleaned and sliced (button or cremini)
  • 1 Tbs of flour
  • 1 cup of Marsala wine
  • ½ cup of beef stock
  • 2 tsp of freshly chopped thyme leaves
  • 1 lb of ground sirloin
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1 tsp of salt
  • ½ tsp of freshly ground black pepper
  • ½ tsp of garlic powder
  • 2 Tbs of finely chopped onion
  • 2 tsp of Worcestershire
  • ¼ cup of dry bread crumbs
  • chopped green onion or chives for garnish - optional
Instructions
  1. Begin the Marsala sauce by heating the olive oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. Cook the shallots (or onion) and mushrooms gently until they become translucent, about 5-6 minutes. Stir in the flour, then deglaze the pan with the wine and add the stock and fresh thyme. Allow to reduce by two-thirds. Now, mix the ground sirloin with the egg, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion, and Worcestershire, then shape into 4 patties, make sure not to overwork the meat.
  2. Heat a little oil in a large heavy skillet, cast iron if you have one, cook the patties for 3-4 minutes on each side. Pour the sauce over the patties and serve, sprinkle with chives or chopped green onions if you like, enjoy!
