How to Make Beef En Croute With Marsala Sauce

  1. Preheat oven to 230°C (425°F).
  2. Heat a large oven-safe skillet over high heat. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil.
  3. Season steaks generously with salt and pepper. Sear steaks for 2-3 minutes per side until nicely browned. Set aside to cool slightly.
  4. Remove steaks from skillet, reserving oil. Add sliced mushrooms (1 cup) to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.
  5. Stir in 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  6. Gradually whisk in 1/2 cup Marsala wine and 1/2 cup chicken stock. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat and cook for 5 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly.
  7. Unroll 1 sheet (14.1 oz) of puff pastry. Cut into 4 equal squares.
  8. Roll each square into a rectangle large enough to enclose a steak.
  9. Place a steak in the center of each pastry rectangle.
  10. Wrap the pastry tightly around the steak, crimping the edges to seal. Place seam-side down on a baking sheet.
  11. Brush the pastry with 1 beaten egg.
  12. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the steak is cooked to your liking.
  13. Serve the Beef En Croute immediately, spooning the Marsala sauce over the top.
