Recipe type: Beef
Serves: 2
Ingredients
- 1 Tbs of olive oil
- 2 Tbs of minced shallot (1 whole shallot)
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 8 oz of cremini mushrooms, sliced
- ½ cup of Marsala wine
- ½ cup of beef consomme
- 2 tsp of fresh thyme
- 1 Tbs of butter
- 1 Tbs of flour
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 lb of sirloin steak
- 1 tsp of salt
- ½ tsp of pepper
- ½ tsp of garlic powder
- chopped chives - optional
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan and saute the shallot until softened, about 4-5 minutes, then add the garlic and mushrooms, cook for about 5 minutes.
- Pour in the Marsala and beef consomme, deglaze the pan, then add in the thyme, simmer for about 30-35 minutes or until reduced by about ½. Mix the butter with the flour and add to the sauce, stir until the sauce is thickened. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Remove your steak from the fridge and let it come to room temperature.
- While the sauce is simmering, season the sirloin with salt, pepper and garlic powder. Prepare a grill or heat a heavy skillet and sear the sirloin over high heat, about 4 minutes per side for rare.
- If you want to cook it longer for medium, place it in a 350-degree oven for a few minutes.
- To serve, slice the steak, place on a plate, spoon over the sauce and sprinkle on the chives. Enjoy!
Notes
If you're lucky, you may have some extra Marsala sauce, it's incredible over a baked potato or green beans!
