There’s nothing more impressive than tender and juicy Beef Marsala. Made with marsala wine, mushrooms, and filet mignon, this is the perfect steak recipe to delight your dinner guests. Start with a reverse sear. Slowly roast filets mignons in a 275-degree oven for about 25 minutes until they were just shy of medium-rare and then we browned them in a hot skillet.  Cook: 20

Note: The Marsala sauce was good.

  • 21″ thick filet mignon steaks about 6-8 oz each, removed from fridge 1 hour prior to cooking
  • 4TBS olive oil divided
  • 1oz dried gourmet mushrooms sliced, reconstituted in hot water then drained (optional)
  • ½lb cremini mushrooms sliced
  • 2large shallots minced
  • 3cloves garlic minced
  • 2TBS AP flour
  • ¾cup dry Marsala wine
  • 1cup low-sodium beef stock
  • 2TBS unsalted butter
  • 2TBS flat leaf Italian parsley
  • salt and pepper to taste

Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 275°F.

Roast steaks:

Pat steaks dry with paper towels and sprinkle evenly with 1 tsp salt and ½ tsp pepper. Place steaks in a 10- to 12-inch oven safe nonstick skillet and roast until steaks register 115°F (for medium-rare), about 25 minutes, or 125°F (for medium), 30 to 35 minutes.

Sear steaks:

Remove steaks from skillet. Heat remaining 1 TBS  oil in now-empty skillet over medium-high heat until just smoking. Place steaks in center of skillet and cook until well browned on both sides, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Transfer steaks to plate, tent with aluminum foil, and let rest for 10 minutes.

Mushrooms:

Add the reconstituted mushrooms to the pan and cook for 3 minutes then add the remaining cremini mushrooms and cook until they release their water (about 5-7 minutes). Once the mushrooms release their water let them brown for a few more minutes.

Sauce:

Turn the heat down to medium and add the remaining olive oil and shallots to the pan along with a pinch of salt and cook for 2-3 minutes or until soft. Add the garlic and cook for another minute.

Add the flour to the pan and whisk in until no white specks remain.

Whisk in the Marsala wine and bring to a boil. Cook until the wine reduces by half then add the beef stock and bring to a boil once more. Cook until the sauce begins to thicken (about 2 minutes) then turn the heat down to a simmer.

Finish:

Taste the sauce and season with salt and pepper to taste. Add the steaks back to the pan and spoon the sauce on top. Flip the steaks every minute and cook until they reach an internal temp of 130-135°F or until desired doneness. Once the steaks are done remove the steaks to a plate and whisk the butter and parsley into the sauce. Pour the sauce over the steaks and serve immediately. Enjoy!

Notes:

You can cook the steaks to any temp you like but try to sear them to 15-20°F less than how you like your steak. This way they can be finished in the sauce for a few minutes before serving.

Any type of mushrooms can be used. Gourmet mixed mushrooms make a beautiful presentation and really amp up the wow factor.

Leftovers can be saved for up to 3 days in the fridge and can be reheated on the stovetop over medium-low heat until warm.

Carne Asada

Yield: 4 to 6

Adapted from: NY Times

Nothing beats the smoky richness of charred sliced steak stuffed into tortillas. Carne asada translates to “grilled meat” and refers to the many variations on this dish, as well as parties that center around grilling the marinated meat. Esteban Castillo, the author of the cookbook and blog “Chicano Eats,” combines the intensity of a dry spice rub with a citrus juice marinade in his recipe. Sometimes, he pours some beer into the mix too, but this version, fresh with cilantro, garlic and scallions, already gives the steak big, aromatic flavors. —Genevieve Ko
Time: 35 minutes, plus 2 hours’ marinating

For the steak:

  • 8tsp steak seasoning (recipe follows)
  • ½cup fresh lime juice (from 4 large limes)
  • ¼cup fresh orange juice (from 1 large orange)
  • 1TBS Worcestershire sauce
  • 1½tsp vegetable oil
  • ¼cup chopped cilantro
  • 2scallions, sliced
  • 2garlic cloves, sliced
  • 1½lb flank, flap or skirt steak

For assembly:

  • 12-16corn tortillas
  • Salsas, for serving


Marinate the steak: In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, orange juice, Worcestershire sauce, oil, cilantro, scallions, garlic and 1 TBS steak seasoning. Place the steak in a resealable freezer bag or shallow dish and pour in the marinade. Make sure the steak is evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for 2 hours.

Transfer the steak to a baking sheet lined with foil (discard the marinade). Sprinkle the remaining steak seasoning all over the steak.

For grill:

Heat an outdoor charcoal or gas grill to medium, or set an indoor grill pan over medium.

Grill for 3 to 4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, 4 to 5 minutes for medium and 6 to 7 minutes for well done.

For broiling:

Prepare for broiling: Position an oven rack about 4-6 inches below the broiling element. Preheat the broiler to high and line a rimmed baking sheet or a broiling pan with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.

Bring steak to room temperature: Remove the marinated steak from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking to ensure even cooking. Pat the meat dry of any excess liquid to promote browning.

Broil the steak: Place the steak on the prepared baking sheet. Broil for 4 to 6 minutes per side, or until it develops a nice char on the outside.

Check doneness: Use an instant-read meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. 130°F for medium rare.

Remove the steak from the grill or broiler and rest on a cutting board for about 10 minutes before cutting into thin, small slices.

Steak seasoning:

8 tsp

2 tsp ground guajillo chili or chili powder

½ tsp ground black pepper

½ tsp ground coriander

¼ tsp ground cumin

¾ tsp kosher salt

2 tsp garlic powder

2 tsp onion powder

Cottage Pie

Cottage Pie

Comments 0 Comment

Yield: 6 to 8

Adapted from: NY Times

Cottage pie is a near twin to its sibling, the slightly better-known shepherd’s pie. The main difference between these traditional dishes, which have roots in Ireland and Britain, is that cottage pie embraces ground beef while shepherd’s pie, fittingly, favors lamb. Smothered in a delicious and thick gravy along with carrots, onions, celery and peas, the ground beef filling is covered in creamy mashed potatoes and then baked into a hearty and satisfying meal. Known for being freezer friendly, easy to make and economical, this recipe stretches its simple ingredients to feed many mouths. For variation, try using chicken or turkey and other vegetables in the base and swapping in sweet potatoes for the topping.
Prep: 20 Cook: 2 hrs

For the filling:

  • 2lb ground beef
  • salt and pepper
  • 2TBS salted butter
  • 1medium white or yellow onion, diced, about 1 cup
  • 2celery stalks, finely chopped, about ½ cup
  • 1medium carrot, peeled and finely chopped, about ½ cup
  • 3garlic cloves, minced
  • 2TBS tomato paste
  • ¼cup AP flour
  • 2cups beef broth
  • ½cup dry red wine (or water)
  • ½cup frozen peas
  • 2TBS Worcestershire sauce
  • 4thyme sprigs
  • 2dried bay leaves

For the topping:

  • Salt
  • 2½lb russet potatoes, peeled and cut into ½-inch cubes
  • ½cup whole milk
  • 5TBS salted butter, melted
  • ¾cup grated Parmesan (about 1½ oz)

Heat the oven to 350°F.

Prepare the filling: Heat an ovenproof 12-inch skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef and a large pinch of salt and cook, breaking up the meat as you go, until slightly pink and just cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the ground beef to a bowl and set aside. Leave about a tsp of fat in the pan and discard the rest.

To the same skillet, add butter, onion, celery and carrot and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is translucent, and the carrot is just tender, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and tomato paste, stirring to coat, about 1 minute. Add ¼ cup flour and stir to incorporate.

Add 2 cups beef broth, ½ cup red wine, peas, 2 TBS Worcestershire sauce, thyme sprigs, bay leaves and 1 tsp each salt and pepper. Stir to combine, then bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the consistency of thick gravy, 7 to 10 minutes. Taste and add extra seasoning, if needed. Remove the bay leaves and thyme sprigs and stir in the ground beef. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.

Make the topping: To a large saucepan, add potatoes and water to cover by 1 inch. Bring to a boil and cook until knife-tender, about 15 minutes. Drain the potatoes and put back into the saucepan. Add ½ cup milk, 4 TBS butter and ½ cup grated Parmesan. Mash with a potato masher until just creamy, avoiding over-mashing. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

Dollop the mashed potatoes on top of the beef mixture in the skillet, carefully smoothing the mashed potatoes until it fully covers the beef mixture and reaches the edge of the pan. Drizzle the remaining 1 TBS of butter over the top, sprinkle with remaining ¼ cup grated Parmesan and bake in the oven until golden and bubbly, about 30 minutes. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.

Tips:

If you do not have an oven-proof skillet, you can transfer beef mixture to a 9-by-13-inch baking dish for assembly and baking.

Cottage pie can be fully assembled and refrigerated (up to 2 days) or frozen (up to 3 months) in advance, then baked. If frozen, allow to defrost fully before baking.

A totally real, verified fact that we just made up: People who cook fancier weeknight dinners are more likely to receive a compliment from a stranger, meet their celebrity crush, and/or win the lottery. They’re also guaranteed to be rewarded with a delicious, steakhouse-quality meal without leaving the comforts of their own kitchen. Case in point: these seared sirloin steaks drizzled in a deluxe, sherry vinegar-spiked pan sauce with crispy, cheesy potato rounds, and a tangy mixed greens salad.
