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.

Cut into this Beef Marsala and watch as the rich, mahogany sauce pools around each perfectly cooked medallion! Each bite delivers tender beef and earthy mushrooms enrobed in a silky wine sauce that’s both sophisticated and comforting. Whether you’re planning a romantic dinner or wanting to elevate your weeknight cooking, this restaurant-worthy dish brings elegant flavors right to your table. So grab your favorite skillet, uncork that Marsala, and get ready to create a meal that transforms simple ingredients into something truly special!

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 Cook Who Feeds Themselves Well: A Guide to Solo Cooking at Its Best

Research on solo eating and dietary quality has found a complex picture that complicates the simple narrative that eating alone is nutritionally inferior to eating with others. While shared meals are associated with greater dietary variety and higher vegetable consumption on average, solo eaters who cook for themselves regularly — who apply genuine attention to the meals they prepare alone — demonstrate dietary quality comparable to or better than people who eat primarily in social settings but rely on restaurant or processed food. The determinant of dietary quality in solo eating is not the absence of company but the presence of cooking — the act of preparing food from whole ingredients for oneself, regardless of audience, is what most strongly predicts nutritional quality in solo eating contexts.

Garlic Butter Baked Chicken Breast

Combining butter and olive oil in the basting mixture means you get the flavor complexity of butter and the stability of olive oil’s monounsaturated fats with a smaller amount of each than either alone would require. Chicken breast is one of the leanest, highest-protein cuts available, and the basting method keeps it juicy without adding significant additional fat beyond the modest amount in the basting mixture.

Happy National Root Beer Float Day — A&W Is Giving Away Free Floats Today

A classic root beer float is one of the more reasonable fast food desserts — a small float at A&W typically runs around 200 calories, which is significantly less than most milkshakes or blended frozen drinks. The vanilla soft serve provides a small amount of calcium and protein, and enjoying it as a standalone treat rather than tacking it on after a full meal keeps the overall intake in check. If you’re making a root beer float at home to celebrate the day, using a diet root beer and a small scoop of low-fat vanilla ice cream gives you the same nostalgic experience with a fraction of the calories.
