Recipe information

  • Yield

    Serves 4; 3 ounces beef and 1/4 cup sauce per serving

Ingredients

5 ounces medium button mushrooms, sliced
1/3 cup merlot or other dry red wine (regular or nonalcoholic)
1 1-pound boneless top sirloin steak (about 1 inch thick), all visible fat discarded
1/2 cup no-salt-added tomato sauce
2 medium green onions, finely chopped
1 teaspoon very low sodium beef bouillon granules
1 teaspoon dried basil, crumbled
3/4 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano, crumbled
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
Cooking spray
2 tablespoons snipped fresh parsley

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    In a large shallow glass dish, stir together the mushrooms and wine. Add the beef, turning to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 8 to 12 hours, turning occasionally.

    Step 2

    In a small bowl, stir together the tomato sauce, green onions, bouillon granules, basil, sugar, oregano, garlic powder, and salt. Set aside.

    Step 3

    Lightly spray a large skillet with cooking spray. Heat over medium-high heat. Drain the beef well, reserving the marinade. Cook the beef for 4 minutes. Turn over. Cook for 2 minutes, or to the desired doneness. Transfer to a cutting board. Set aside.

    Step 4

    Pour the reserved marinade and the tomato sauce mixture into the skillet, scraping the bottom and side to dislodge any browned bits. Cook over medium-high heat for 3 minutes, or until the liquid is reduced to 1 cup, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat.

    Step 5

    Slice the beef and transfer to plates. Spoon the mushroom sauce over the beef. Sprinkle with the parsley.

An ex-boyfriend’s mom—who emigrated from Colombia—made the best meat sauce—she would fry sofrito for the base and simply add cooked ground beef, sazón, and jarred tomato sauce. My version is a bit more bougie—it calls for caramelized tomato paste and white wine—but the result is just as good.
This is what I call a fridge-eater recipe. The key here is getting a nice sear on the sausage and cooking the tomato down until it coats the sausage and vegetables well.
This sauce is slightly magical. The texture cloaks pasta much like a traditional meat sauce does, and the flavors are deep and rich, but it’s actually vegan!
This dish is not only a quick meal option but also a practical way to use leftover phở noodles when you’re out of broth.
Caramelized onions, melty Gruyère, and a deeply savory broth deliver the kind of comfort that doesn’t need improving.
This marinara sauce is great tossed with any pasta for a quick and easy weeknight dinner that will leave you thinking, “Why didn’t anyone try this sooner?”
A slow-simmering, comforting braise delivering healing to both body and soul.
Originally called omelette à la neige (snow omelet) in reference to the fluffy snow-like appearance of the meringue, île flottante (floating island) has a lengthy history that dates back to the 17th century.
