Beef Marsala

Beef Marsala

Healthy Fact of the Day

Beef Marsala provides significant protein and essential nutrients like iron and vitamin B12 from the beef. Mushrooms offer immune-boosting compounds and are low in calories. To make this dish healthier, consider using lean beef cuts and reducing the amount of cream. You can thicken the sauce with pureed mushrooms instead of cream for fewer calories. The wine adds flavor but most alcohol cooks off. Adding more vegetables like spinach or asparagus can increase nutrient content. While flavorful, this dish is relatively high in calories. Consider serving smaller portions over whole grain pasta or cauliflower rice, with a side of roasted vegetables for a more balanced meal. The herbs provide antioxidants and enhance flavor without adding calories.

Ingredients

 

  • 1.5 lbs beef tenderloin, cut into medallions
  • 16 oz mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 cup Marsala wine
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 shallot, finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves
  • 1 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • Salt to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Season beef medallions with salt and pepper, then dust lightly with flour.

  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

  3. Sear beef for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.

  4. In the same pan, add butter and sauté mushrooms until golden.

  5. Add shallot and garlic, cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.

  6. Pour in Marsala wine, scraping the bottom of the pan to release browned bits.

  7. Add beef broth, thyme, and rosemary. Simmer for 5 minutes.

  8. Stir in heavy cream and let sauce reduce slightly.

  9. Return beef to the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes until heated through.

  10. Adjust seasoning to taste.

  11. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Tip of the Day

“Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!

Crumbl’s Fourth of July Lineup Is Here — And It’s One of the Biggest Menus of the Summer

With ten items on this week’s menu, building a shared box rather than individual cookies per person is the smartest way to let everyone try a few things without overdoing it. The Summer Berry Tart Cookie and Cookies & Cream Cookie Thins are the lightest options of the week — the tart leans on real fruit rather than heavy frosting, and the Thins are a smaller, more portioned format. Saving the richer options like the Campfire Skillet or Caramel Apple Crisp for sharing is an easy way to enjoy the indulgent flavors without committing to a full cookie solo.

The Table We Set for Ourselves

Research on dietary patterns and long-term health consistently finds that the single most predictive factor of sustained nutritional well-being is not the adoption of any specific diet or the avoidance of any specific ingredient — it is the development of a positive, curious, non-anxious relationship with food and cooking. People who find genuine pleasure in cooking and eating, who approach food with curiosity rather than fear, and who maintain regular shared meals as a consistent feature of their lives demonstrate better dietary quality, better metabolic health, and better psychological well-being over time than those who approach food primarily as a source of nutritional management or anxiety. The relationship with food is the intervention. Everything else follows from it.

Fish Tacos with 7UP Batter

White fish is naturally low in calories and fat while being high in lean protein, B vitamins, and minerals like selenium and phosphorus. Using carbonated soda in the batter reduces the amount of batter needed to achieve crispiness, since the bubbles create lightness rather than density. Serving with fresh cabbage adds fiber and vitamin C while the crunch factor keeps every bite interesting.
