Beef En Croute With Marsala Sauce
"My husband came up with the idea of having beef en croute with Marsala sauce, I came up with the recipe. You can use any steak you like. We actually bought a small piece of topside and cut it into steaks, also, with the size of steak, use as much or as little as you like, for your personal appetite.
I served it with creamy mashed potato and carrots.
I actually froze two of the parcels before cooking to have another day and these can be defrosted and re-heated as you like. You can easily make more or less of the sauce by halving or doubling the ingredients."

What a novel way to serve steak, loved the puff pastry. I used sirloin steak in this dish and we found it a little tough. The sauce was incredible even without the marsala sauce, which I omitted because my dh doesn't drink. I will definitely try this again but with a different cut of meat. Thank you for sharing your recipe with us angellore. Made for Pac 2011! -
This was delicious! I used 2 tenderloin steaks and half a packet of wholewheat puff pastry, and made the full amount of mushroom sauce. Marinated steaks in Worcestershire sauce, raw garlic, salt and pepper. Thanks for sharing! -
What an interesting twist on steaks! The sauce is delicious too. We'll make these again. Thanks for the recipe!

I live in the UK and for other recipezaar fans in the UK I reccomend getting down the Asda and getting some measuring cups! Since I bought them they have been invaluable and mean I can try making so many more foods!
