recipe: steak marsala

din din tonight, adapted loosely from two recipes from allrecipes.com, Chicken Marsala & Pan-fried Steak with Marsala Sauce, and scaled to feed only 2. we served this with jasmine rice, as seen with the little white rice buttocks in the pic : )

ingredients list:
- 1/4 cup flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
- 1/4 tsp white pepper
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
***
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1/2 lb sandwich chuck steak
- 1 cup sliced mushrooms
- 1/2 onion, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 3/4 cup marsala wine


to make:
mix flour, salt, peppers & onion powder in shallow bowl, then coat steaks thoroughly with the mix, reserving flour. heat olive oil & butter in skillet over medium high heat. after it gets hot, add steaks & sautee 2-3 minutes per side until they have a nice sear. remove steaks to warm plate. lower heat to med-low, and add mushrooms, onion & garlic to skillet, sauteeing until onions are soft and golden. mix a bit of the leftover flour into the marsala wine (if you were making a larger version of this recipe with more (floured) meat in the mix, you could probably skip this step), and pour mixture into skillet, simmering for 10 minutes until sauce is nice & thick.


this was a great lil din, esp given how quick & easy it is. the marsala i have is a bit on the drier side, so using a marsala-sherry mix would be nice for next time to give it a little more sweet sweet. rating... 6 ******?
