Ingredients

  • 2 6 oz sirloin steaks
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • salt & pepper to taste
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 8 oz crimini mushrooms (stems removed) sliced
  • 2 shallots peeled & finely diced
  • 1/2 cup marsala wine
  • 3/4 cup beef stock good quality recommended
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard

Instructions

  • Set the steaks out 30 minutes prior to cooking to allow them to come to room temperature. Season them with the garlic, salt, and pepper.
    2 6 oz sirloin steaks, 1 tsp garlic powder, salt & pepper
  • Add the oil and butter to a large cast iron skillet set over medium high heat. Once melted add the steaks and sear for 5 minutes, undisturbed. Flip them over and continue cooking for 5 more minutes, again without touching them.
    1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, 1 tbsp butter
  • Transfer the steaks to a waiting plate, cover with foil, and set aside.
  • Reduce the heat to medium and add the mushrooms and shallots to the skillet. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in the wine, then reduce the heat to medium low and let simmer for 2 minutes.
    8 oz crimini mushrooms (stems removed), 2 shallots, 1/2 cup marsala wine
  • Add the broth and mustard, stirring until evenly incorporated. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook until the sauce reduces by half, about 5 minutes.
    3/4 cup beef stock, 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • Plate the steaks, spoon the sauce overtop, serve immediately, and enjoy!

Notes

  • I recommend sirloin steaks for the most authentic copycat experience, but you can use another cut if preferred. 
  • Don't touch the steak while it's cooking. Moving it while it cooks prevents the steak from getting that delicious golden brown sear.
  • Depending on the thickness of your steaks and your desired doneness, you may need to adjust the cook time a bit. The 5 minute per side sear time should give your steak a medium doneness.
