Marsala Steak Sandwich Recipes

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.
