Don’t just limit Marsala sauce to chicken. It’s great on steak too!

Steak Marsala: A Year Round Treat

Now that it’s summer and lots of us are grilling, this steak marsala is a great way to serve up that outdoor-grilled steak.

But it doesn’t have to be a summertime treat because there’s other methods you can use to cook your steak. The main attraction here is the sauce. Anywhere you can cook with a saucepan lets you make this tasty marsala sauce.

However, I will add here that a BBQ grilled steak will up the ante on this dish’s flavor, do make a point to enjoy this while the weather is good and you can cook outdoors.

It’s A Skillet Dinner Too!

Since I discovered pan frying steak was the best method to cook it, this recipe can also be made in one pan–your skillet.

When I made what is photographed here, I was lucky enough to find two very thinly sliced rib eyes–and on sale too. How lucky can you get!

However, thicker steaks will work very well with this steak marsala recipe, so if you pan fry, just allow for more cooking time. Either way you choose to make the steak, it will be a real treat to eat.

That Lovely Sauce

Most of the ingredients you need to make up the marsala sauce, you probably have on hand.

Basically, any wine will do in the sauce, but marsala will give the best flavor.

I’m a huge advocate for using fresh–be that veggies or herbs–so I highly recommend using fresh in this sauce. It will taste much better. And as an aside, my herb garden decided to actually grow and flourish this year so I’m taking real advantage of this!!!

However, you can safely substitute canned button mushrooms for the fresh and dried thyme (the kind in the bottle) for the fresh. It will still taste fine but I do urge you to at least use fresh mushrooms if you can.
