Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Creamy Steak Marsala
  1. Start by seasoning the filet mignon generously with kosher salt and black pepper. Allow the steaks to rest at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
  2. While the steaks are resting, prepare your ingredients. Slice the baby bella mushrooms thinly, and mince the garlic cloves. In a small bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  3. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter. Sear the filet mignon for 2-3 minutes on each side.
  4. In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of unsalted butter, then the sliced mushrooms. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until they start to soften.
  5. Pour the marsala wine into the skillet, scraping the bottom to release flavorful bits. Allow to simmer for about 3-4 minutes, reducing by half.
  6. Stir in the beef stock and simmer for another 3-4 minutes. Then, add the heavy cream and return the seared steaks back to the skillet.
  7. Plate the filet mignon whole or sliced, generously topping them with the creamy mushroom marsala sauce.
