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!

Chick-fil-A Just Launched a Chicken and Waffles Sandwich — Plus Two S’mores Drinks

Sandwiches that combine fried protein, syrup, and butter-based spreads can add up quickly in calories and added sugar, especially when paired with a milkshake-style drink. If you’re ordering something like a chicken and waffles sandwich, consider going light on the syrup, choosing the grilled filet option instead of fried, or splitting a dessert drink with someone else at the table. Pairing a heavier meal with water instead of a second sugary beverage is also an easy way to keep things balanced.

The Whole Fish: Why Cooking It on the Bone Changes Everything

Fish cooked on the bone retains slightly higher concentrations of omega-3 fatty acids than fish that has been filleted and stored before cooking — because the fat in the flesh adjacent to the bone is protected from oxidation by the bone itself during the period between filleting and cooking. Whole fish also provides the specific opportunity to consume the collar and the cheek — the two portions most consistently identified by fish-eating cultures worldwide as the most flavorful and most fatty, and therefore the most omega-3-rich, parts of the fish.
