A note about serious food allergies

Nothing is better for a filling dinner than a big bowl of risotto, a creamy creation we have Italy to thank for. Also from Italy (well, Sicily) is Marsala wine, a sweet fortified wine used in such Italian favorites as, well, Chicken Marsala. It adds a lovely rich flavor to the umami-packed mushrooms, which in turn combine with steak strips and tomatoes for the perfect topping for risotto. Tip: Constantly stirring risotto does more than just give your arm a good workout. Stirring releases starches, a key for creamy risotto, and allows for even cooking of the rice.

Cooking Guidelines

To ensure food safety, the FDA recommends the following as minimum internal cooking temperatures:

  • Steak and Pork 145° F (rest cooked meat, 3 minutes) |
  • Seafood 145° F |
  • Chicken 165° F |
  • Ground Beef 160° F |
  • Ground Turkey 165° F |
  • Ground Pork 160° F
  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Cut mushrooms into 1/4" slices.

    Core tomato and cut into 1/4" dice.

    Trim and thinly slice green onions.

    Separate steak strips into a single layer and pat dry. Season all over with seasoning blend.

  2. 2

    Start the Risotto

    Place another medium pot over medium-high heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil.

    Add rice and half the green onions (reserve remaining for mushrooms) to hot pot. Stir occasionally until rice is toasted, 1-2 minutes.

  3. 3

    Finish the Risotto

    Add 1 cup boiling water from other pot and 1/4 tsp. salt to pot with rice. Rice should just be covered by water. Stir often until nearly all water is absorbed.

    Add 1/2 cup boiling water from other pot and stir often until nearly all water is absorbed. Repeat this process, stirring often, 18-20 minutes.

    Taste risotto as you cook, checking for tenderness. When rice has no more “bite” or crunch, it's done. There may be water left.

    Remove from burner. Stir in Parmesan (reserve a pinch for garnish). Cover and set aside.

  4. 4

    Sear the Steak Strips

    Place a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil. Add steak strips and a pinch of salt to hot pan and stir occasionally until browned, 2-4 minutes.

    Transfer steaks strips to a plate. Steak strips will finish cooking in a later step. Keep pan over medium-high heat.

  5. 5

    Cook Mushrooms and Finish Dish

    Add 2 tsp. olive oil, mushrooms, 1/4 tsp. salt, and a pinch of pepper to hot pan. Stir occasionally until browned, 4-5 minutes.

    Add wine, demi-glace, 1/4 cup water, tomatoes, remaining green onions (reserve a pinch for garnish), and steak strips and any accumulated juices. Stir occasionally until steak strips reach a minimum internal temperature of 145 degrees, 3-4 minutes.

    Remove from burner.

    Plate dish as pictured on front of card, topping risotto with steak strip mixture and garnishing with reserved Parmesan and green onions. Bon appétit!
