Marsala Obsession

A fun fact about myself is that I used to work at my local Carrabba’s Italian Grill. One of the best parts about working there was the employee discount that we received each shift. I could order whatever I wanted, so I slowly became obsessed with their Sirloin Marsala. To be honest, I was more interested in the sauce than the steak (although their sirloins are bangin’). I would get the Marsala sauce on everything, even their buttery mashed potatoes! When I left Carrabba’s for the medical field, I knew that some day I had to recreate the recipe so I could make it whenever I craved it. Thanks to my new found love for Earth Balance mixed with almond yogurt, I recreated a creamy mushroom Marsala sauce packed with nutrients and flavor!

Whatever You’d Like

I feel like T.I. is about to start playing… Throwback. In all seriousness, mushroom Marsala sauce is good on almost anything. That is evident by the fact that Carrabba’s serves it over veal, chicken, and steak (and mashed potatoes if you ask nicely). If you are a vegetarian, try the sauce over a Gardein meat substitute, or a roasted cauliflower steak. When it comes to the sides, there are also a bunch of options to choose from. I would recommend serving the sirloin Marsala over noodles, mashed potatoes, or with quartered, roasted potatoes. I’m also a huge fan of a green vegetable, such as green beans or asparagus. As I said, you can have it with whatever you’d like.

Equipment

• cast iron skillet
• sauce pan

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

Marsala Sauce

• 2 Tbs Earth Balance Soy Free
• 16 oz Baby Bella Mushrooms pre sliced
• 12.9 oz Marsala Cooking Wine
• 2 cups almond yogurt
• 1 Tbs fresh Thyme

Sirloin

• 1 Tbs Earth Balance Soy Free
• 1.25 Lbs Sirloin steak

Optional

• pasta
• green beans

Instructions

 

• Turn a burner to medium-high heat and heat up the skillet for 2 minutes
• Add the Earth Balance for the sauce recipe and stir it to melt, approx 30 seconds
• Add the sliced mushrooms and stir them to coat in the melted "butter"
• Allow the mushrooms to cook, sauteing occasionally, for 3 minutes
• Add the wine and stir to combine
• Allow the sauce to bubble and cook for 5 minutes, stirring if the sauce starts to rise in the pan
• Start a second saucepan on another burner and CAREFULLY transfer the sauce from the cast iron to the new pan, scraping as much out as you can.
• Once the sauce is in the second pan, add the yogurt and fresh Thyme; stir well to combine
• Turn the heat for the sauce pan to low and allow to thicken while you cook the steak
• In the cast iron, add another Tbs of "butter", scraping the remaining sauce off the bottom of the pan and mixing it with the melting "butter". The heat should return to medium high
• Add the steaks and cook for 2 minutes on each side, flipping to the other side until the steaks are cooked to your desired (but safe) liking, approx 10 minutes
• Serve steak over noodles with a green vegetable, and cover with sauce

Notes

Timing is not included for pasta and veggie. If making green beans and pasta, start the water and preheat the oven when you begin the recipe. It should not add extra time if you start them in the beginning.

Marsala cooking wine is preferred for this recipe. I used Rolland’s from Stauffers and was the best batch I’ve ever made. Using regular red wine will alter the consistency and taste, but it is possible to use. 

A cast iron skillet is preferred for this recipe, but is not necessary. Cooking times may vary if using a regular skillet. 

Calories are not included for whatever vegetable and starch is used.
