Mushroom Steak Marsala

Submitted by Philly Fan

"I wanted marsala one cold, rainy night and came up with this after combining pieces of two of my favorite recipes. It is pretty easy and was a big hit with the family. I served it over whole wheat cheese tortellini with roasted asparagus, but it would also be delicious with roasted or mashed potatoes and a veggie. The sauce is versatile enough that it would also be great with chicken if beef isn't your thing...You can also GRILL the steak."

Just tried this recipe tonite... wonderful !!! The only thing I did differently was use 2 strip loins and cooked then in a grill pan on the stove top... Other than that I followed the recipe, and, my DW loved it!!! Makes a beautiful sauce!!
