Beef Marsala Mushroom Stew Food

SLOW COOKER MARSALA BEEF STEW

Steps:

• In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Toss meat together with flour, salt and pepper. Place some of the meat in the heated skillet and brown meat on all sides. Place in slow cooker when browned. Meat will be browned but not cooked through. Do this in batches until all meat is browned, adding more oil as necessary. (I have a nonstick skillet so I used very little oil.)
• Add onions, mushrooms, carrots, celery, garlic, tomato paste, cooking wine, beef stock and thyme to slow cooker, stirring to combine.
• Cover and cook on low for 8 hours. Carefully remove thyme stems.
• In a small bowl, mix together 2 tablespoons cornstarch and 2 tablespoons water until no lumps remain.
• Increase heat to high and stir in cornstarch mixture. Cook for 30 minutes or until thick. If not reaching desired thickness, stir in 1 more tablespoon of cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon cold water.
• Stir in frozen peas, and serve over rice or mashed potatoes.

SIRLOIN STEAK WITH MUSHROOM MARSALA SAUCE

Steps:

• Begin the Marsala sauce by heating the olive oil in a large saute pan. Cook the shallots (or onion) and mushrooms gently until they become translucent. Deglaze the pan with the wine and add the stock and fresh thyme. Allow to reduce by two-thirds.
• Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and season meat on both sides with salt and pepper. Sear the meat on both sides, and grill to about 128 degrees F internal temperature for medium-rare. Remove meat from grill and let rest.
• Strain Marsala sauce and whisk in butter to finish. Season with salt and pepper, as needed. Spoon the sauce over the grilled steaks, garnish with chopped chives, and serve.
