Ingredients
  

  • 680 g filet mignon or tender beef
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 230 g baby bella or cremini mushrooms
  • 4-6 cloves garlic
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 15 sprigs fresh thyme (leaves only)
  • ½ cup Marsala cooking wine or non-alcoholic alternative
  • ½ cup beef broth
  • ½ cup heavy cream

Equipment

  • Cast-iron skillet or heavy-bottomed pan
  • Baking sheet and cooling rack
  • Tongs for flipping steaks
  • Wooden spoon or spatula for stirring

Method
 

  1. Place steaks on a rack over a baking sheet, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.
  2. While steaks rest, slice mushrooms thinly and mince garlic. Mix flour with garlic powder and onion powder.
  3. Heat a cast-iron skillet or heavy-bottomed pan over medium heat.
  4. Coat each steak lightly with the seasoned flour mixture, shaking off excess.
  5. Melt butter with olive oil in the heated pan, then sear the steaks for 2-3 minutes per side.
  6. Transfer steaks to a plate and tent with foil.
  7. In the same pan, cook the sliced mushrooms until softened and golden brown (2-3 minutes).
  8. Add minced garlic and thyme leaves, cooking for another minute.
  9. Pour in Marsala wine, scraping the bottom of the pan to deglaze.
  10. Add beef broth and simmer for 3-4 minutes until reduced by half.
  11. Stir in heavy cream, return steaks to the pan, and simmer for an additional 3-5 minutes.

Notes

For an even richer sauce, use aged Marsala wine. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Reheat gently to maintain the creamy texture. Feel free to substitute filet mignon with ribeye or strip steak, and different mushrooms or cream for dairy-free versions. Serve with sides like roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes for a complete meal!
