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!

The Olive Oil Harvest: Why the Freshest Bottle on the Shelf Is Always the Best One

Extra virgin olive oil’s health benefits are substantially dependent on its polyphenol content — specifically the compounds oleocanthal, oleuropein, and hydroxytyrosol that are responsible for its anti-inflammatory and cardiovascular-protective effects. Research has found that the polyphenol content of olive oil decreases by approximately forty percent in the first year after pressing and continues to decline thereafter, meaning that fresh, high-polyphenol extra virgin olive oil provides substantially greater health benefits than aged or degraded oil of equivalent volume. The PREDIMED study — the landmark clinical trial demonstrating the cardiovascular benefits of the Mediterranean diet — used high-polyphenol extra virgin olive oil as the primary fat, and the specific health benefits observed in the study may not be replicable with the aged, low-polyphenol olive oil that constitutes most of the commercial supply.

Aldi’s August Finds Are Stacked — And Fall Flavors Start Arriving This Month

Aldi’s August lineup has a few genuinely nutritious standouts worth prioritizing. The Simply Nature Organic Chicken Sausage is a clean-ingredient protein with no artificial additives — a strong choice for late-summer grilling. The Shrimp Wonton Soup is one of the better-value seafood options in any freezer aisle, with shrimp delivering lean protein and bok choy adding calcium and vitamin C. And the Clancy’s Apple Chips arriving August 26 at $1.99 are a whole-food snack with no added sugar — a genuinely clean alternative to potato chips for fall snacking. When the pumpkin and maple wave hits August 19, enjoying those as occasional treats rather than daily staples keeps the seasonal indulgence balanced.
