Easy Baked Beef Marsala with Pasta

Tuesday, January 22, 2013
Easy Baked Beef Marsala with Pasta is a fork-tender flavorful beef that makes its own delicious gravy slow-cooked to perfection and the rich brown gravy over your favorite pasta.

Any inexpensive cut of meat can be used and as long as you choose one of the slow cooking methods, this will be fork-tender meat that melts in your mouth.

We have used many variations of beef that come out great with this recipe such as chuck, roast, and London broil, all will be fabulous.

Slow cooking is the secret to making this beef so moist and tender and the Marsala wine and our seasoning add the perfect flavor.

This delicious roast is perfect for weeknight dinners.

Our family loves the roast with garlic mashed potatoes and corn on the cob, those are their favorite sides so I tend to make those more often to keep them happy.

If you're not a big fan of pasta, pour this beef and gravy over hard-crusted Italian bread, and potatoes or use it to make a great sandwich in hard rolls.

The gravy it makes is perfect for topping any style of potato you make and especially with our Steakhouse Baked Potatoes.

  3. mushrooms can be substituted by any other vegetable you prefer
  4. when adding potatoes and carrots be sure to smaller cubes and slices to ensure they cook through
