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 release starches, a key for creamy risotto, and allows for even cooking of the rice.

1 Prepare the Ingredients
Cut mushrooms into ¼" slices. Core tomato and cut into ¼" dice. Trim and thinly slice green onions. Separate steak strips into a single layer and pat dry. Season all over with seasoning blend.
-
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 Finish the Risotto
Add 1 cup boiling water from other pot and ¼ tsp. salt to pot with rice. Rice should just be covered by water. Stir often until nearly all water is absorbed. Add ½ 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 Sear the Steak Strips
Place a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil. Add steak strips to hot pan and stir occasionally until browned, 2-4 minutes. Remove steaks strips to a plate. Keep pan over high heat.
-
5 Cook Mushrooms and Finish Dish
Add 2 tsp. olive oil, mushrooms, ¼ tsp. salt, and a pinch of pepper to hot pan. Stir occasionally until browned, 4-5 minutes. Add wine, demi-glace, ¼ cup water, tomatoes, remaining green onions (reserve a pinch for garnish), steak strips and any accumulated juices, and a pinch of salt. Stir occasionally until warmed through and steak reaches 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 strips and mushrooms and garnishing with reserved Parmesan and green onions. Bon appétit!
