How To Make Steak Marsala
- First, whisk together the marinade ingredients in a large measuring cup until combined. Then pour half of the marinade into a 9×13-inch pan and add the steaks. Pour the remaining marinade over the steaks and cover tightly with plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for at least four hours.
- Preheat the grill for fifteen minutes, and then place the steaks in the middle of the grill to cook for six to seven minutes per side.
- Once the steaks are done cooking, remove them from the grill and cover them loosely with foil.
- Next, make the Marsala Mushrooms by first melting the butter in a large skillet. Add the mushrooms and cook for about five minutes.
- Reduce the heat to low and simmer until the sauce has thickened.
- Finally, slice the steak against the grain and smother it with the marsala mushrooms before serving.

Storage Tips
SERVE: You can keep the steaks out for about an hour before they need to be covered and refrigerated.
STORE: Keep leftovers in a covered container for 2-3 days in the refrigerator.
FREEZE: Wrap the steak in two layers of plastic wrap and foil. Then place it in a freezer-safe Ziploc bag and freeze for up to 3 months. Next, thaw the steak and then follow the reheating directions below.
REHEAT: Place the steak on a wire rack over a rimmed baking sheet to reheat the cooked steak. Place in a 250-degree oven for about 20-30, or until the internal temperature reaches 100-110 degrees F.
Recipe FAQs
My recipe for marsala sauce uses Marsala cooking wine, tomato paste, shallots, garlic cloves, salt, rosemary, thyme, and pepper. After using this mixture as the steak marinade, cook the remaining marinade until it thickens into a sauce to pour over the steak.
It is slightly sweet with a nutty flavor that enhances any grilled meat.
You can use Marsala wine in a variety of recipes. Two of my favorites are this Chicken Marsala Stuffed Shells and this Chocolate Cannoli Tart.

Grilled Steak Marsala
Ingredients
MARSALA MARINADE:
- 1 ½ cup Holland House Marsala Cooking Wine
- 4 oz can tomato paste
- 2 medium shallots minced
- 10 large garlic cloves minced
- 1 Tablespoon salt
- 1 Tablespoon minced fresh rosemary
- 1 Tablespoon minced fresh thyme
- 2 teaspoons freshly cracked black pepper
STEAK AND MUSHROOM TOPPING:
- 2 (1 ½ pound) tri tip steaks
- 3 Tablespoons butter
- 16 oz white button mushrooms sliced
Instructions
MARINATE STEAKS:
- In a large measuring cup, whisk together marinade ingredients until combined. Pour half of the marinade into a 9 x 13-inch pan, add steaks, and pour the remaining marinade over the steaks. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
GRILL STEAKS:
- 15 minutes before grilling, preheat the grill to high. Remove tri-tip steaks from marinade and reserve marinade.
- Place steaks in the middle of hot grill and cook 6-7 minutes per side. Remove steaks once they have reached desired doneness, and tent steaks with foil.
MAKE MARSALA MUSHROOMS:
- While the steaks rest, make Marsala mushrooms. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When butter is melted, add mushrooms and cook, often stirring, until mushrooms release most of their liquid, about 5 minutes.
- Add reserved marinade to pan and bring to a low boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer until sauce has thickened, about 5-8 more minutes.
TO FINISH:
- Slice steak against the grain, smother with marsala mushrooms, and serve.
