THE SAUCE INGREDIENTS ARE FOR 2 STEAKS - YOU CAN EASILY DOUBLE FOR MORE - OR YOU JUST WON'T HAVE AS MUCH SAUCE AND MUSHROOMS FOR EACH STEAK
2 - 4 strip steak - about 8 ounces each
salt and pepper to taste
1/2 sweet onion or 1 large shallot, minced
3 -4 clove garlic - minced
3 - 4 Tbsp olive oil
1/2 c marsala wine
1 1/2 Tbsp worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 - 2 tsp lemon juice
8 oz portabella mushrooms, cleaned and sliced
1 tsp dried thyme

Steps:

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degree F. Mince your garlic, shallot or onions, and slice the mushrooms, set aside.
2. Salt and pepper your steaks.
3. In a large oven proof frying pan ( I use my iron skillet) add about 2 tablespoons of the oil and cook the steaks on medium high heat for about 6 minutes on each side.
4. Place the skillet in the oven and continue cooking till desired doneness.
5. Remove the steaks from the skillet and tent with aluminum foil to keep warm, while preparing the sauce. In the same skillet add another tablespoon of oil if needed. Add the mushrooms to the skillet and season with salt,and pepper.
6. Cook on medium high heat until mushrooms are tender. Stir in the onion, thyme, and minced garlic; cook until soft.
7. Stir in the Marsala wine scraping any pan drippings from the bottom of the pan. Add the Worcestershire sauce and cook over medium high heat until mixture is reduced to about 3/4 its original volume and then stir in the lemon juice.
8. Plate your steak and spoon sauce and mushrooms over your steak. Enjoy!
