2 sirloin steaks (about 8 oz each, 1 inch thick)
Salt & black pepper, to taste
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp butter
For the Marsala Mushroom Sauce:
2 tbsp butter
8 oz mushrooms, sliced (cremini or baby bella work great)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 small onion or shallot, finely chopped
1/2 cup Marsala wine
1/2 cup beef broth
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 tsp Dijon mustard (optional, for depth)

1. Let steaks sit at room temp for 15–20 minutes.
2. Pat dry and season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
3. Heat a skillet (cast iron preferred) over medium-high heat. Add oil and 1 tbsp butter.
4. Sear steaks 3–4 minutes per side for medium-rare (adjust based on thickness & doneness).
5. Transfer to a plate, tent loosely with foil, and let rest.
2. Make the Marsala Mushroom Sauce:

2. Sauté mushrooms for 5–7 minutes until browned and soft.
3. Add onions and garlic; cook for 2 minutes until fragrant.
4. Pour in Marsala wine and stir, scraping up any bits from the pan.
5. Let it simmer for 3–4 minutes until slightly reduced.
6. Stir in beef broth, cream, and Dijon mustard (if using). Simmer another 3–5 minutes until sauce thickens slightly.
7. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
