Steaks are great with minimal effort whether grilled with anherb marinade or covered in acreamy cognac sauce. However, steak Marsala  with a buttery mushroom sauce is a great alternative for a special occasion.

Be prepared for a savory sauce made with sweet Marsala wine that compliments a steak of any cut. Since the sauce is so flavorful, you can get by with using a cheaper cut of steak like atop sirloin. Most people have tried a chicken Marsala recipe or maybe pork marsala, but you're going to love those great flavors with steak.

What is Marsala and how long will it last

Marsala is a fortified wine produced in Marsala Sicily.  Its unique flavor comes from the grapes grown only in Sicily and it's fortified with Brandy . It comes either dry or sweet. Want to learn more about this interesting wine, check outWine Folly.

For the Marsala mushroom sauce, I used a sweet Marsala.  Since it's a fortified wine, once opened you can store it in a dark place for ages and it will still retain its flavor.  However, if you don't want to make Steak Marsala every night, try using some in my family's favorite dinner recipe,Chicken Marsala Meatballs.

What can you use instead of Marsala

If you're all out of Marsala or you can't find a bottle at the wine store, Madeira is the closest substitute.  You could also use Port or Sherry but other wines will not give you the same savory rich flavor you get with Marsala.

If you aren't a fan of alcohol, use about ¼ cup of chicken broth instead of the wine. While I love the flavor the Marsala adds, the mushrooms are the key ingredient so it will be still be a fabulous dish.

What you'll need

The ingredients for Steak Marsala
  • Two types of mushrooms – To get a rich mushroom flavor, I used dried porcini mushrooms and fresh cremini mushrooms. Cremini mushrooms are young portobello mushrooms, called baby bellas and are more flavorful than the more common white button mushrooms. Porcini are a wild mushroom with an aromatic woodsy flavor that in my area can only be find dried. (affiliate) With dried mushrooms, you have to reconstitute them with water but the rehydrating liquid adds so much flavor to the sauce. Don't pour it out!

  • Shallots and garlic
  • Fresh rosemary and parsley

  • Add ½ cup of broth to dried porcini mushrooms in a microwave safe bowl and microwave for about 1 minute until steaming. Let sit for about 5 minutes until softened. Drain and reserve liquid. Chop mushrooms until fine.

  • Add 1 tablespoon oil to a nonstick skillet over medium-high. When hot, add fresh mushrooms and a pinch of salt and pepper and cover. Cook until the mushrooms have released their liquid, about 3 minutes. Uncover and cook until liquid has evaporated and mushrooms are browned, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and cover with tinfoil to keep warm.

  • Pat steaks dry and season with salt and pepper. Add a tablespoon of oil to the skillet and heat over medium heat. When hot, add steaks and cook until brown on one side. Turn over and cook until meat thermometer registers 125º for medium rare, 130º for medium. Time will vary depending on how thick the steaks are, but about 5 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and tent with tinfoil.

  • Heat a tablespoon of oil in the same skillet over medium-high heat and add shallots, flour, garlic, rosemary, dried mushrooms, a pinch of salt and pepper and cook until the shallots have softened. Stir in ¾ cup of Marsala, reserved mushroom liquid and ½ cup of broth. Cook until reduced and slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.

  • Reduce heat and whisk in butter a piece at a time. Next add parsley, lemon juice, the browned fresh mushrooms and 1 tablespoon Marsala. Season with salt and pepper. Slice steak and spoon sauce over steak.

  • You can substitute Madeira or chicken broth for Marsala wine.
  • The steak will continue to cook while it is resting so remove it at a slightly lower temperature than what you prefer.
  • If you can't find dried porcini mushrooms, use whatever dried mushrooms you can find.
