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!

One Costco Rotisserie Chicken, Five Completely Different Meals

Rotisserie chicken is already a relatively lean protein, but you can make it work even harder for you with a few small swaps. Pull the skin off before shredding to cut down on saturated fat without losing any of the flavor you’ve already cooked in. When building your five meals, lean on the soup and the pasta nights to load in extra vegetables — spinach, zucchini, and kale all disappear into both dishes without anyone noticing. And that homemade stock you made from the carcass? It’s significantly lower in sodium than anything from a can, which makes a real difference across a full week of cooking.

You’ve Been Cooking Rice Wrong Your Whole Life

Cooling cooked rice before eating — or refrigerating and reheating it — converts a portion of its digestible starch into resistant starch, which functions similarly to dietary fiber. Resistant starch feeds beneficial gut bacteria, supports digestive health, and results in a lower glycemic response compared to freshly cooked rice eaten hot.
