Clean the mushrooms according to the instructions described in our specific page dedicated to mushrooms.
Chop the onion finely.
Put 1 tablespoon olive oil, bay leaf and onion in a non-stick frying pan.
Saute, stirring now and then, on low heat.
Add the mushrooms, season to taste with salt and let them flavor, stirring now and then.
Pour in the Marsala wine and let it evaporate partially.
Add the parsley and chives.
Continue simmer gently for 10 minutes, half-covered, stirring now and then.
Mushrooms generally release a bit of fluid that is usually sufficient for their cooking. Otherwise add a ladle of boiling water or broth.
Uncover and simmer for a further 10 minutes until the sauce thickens.
The mushrooms are ready to serve.
Meanwhile preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Cut the potatoes into large pieces and place them in an oiled (use the other 2 tablespoons olive oil)
shallow ovenproof dish with rosemary and sage.
Bake in oven for 30-40 minutes, stirring frequently.
Add salt and paprika in the last minutes.
At the end, cook the fillet steaks.
Heat the butter in a non-stick frying pan and add the steaks.
Cook for two minutes, turn over and cook for a further two minutes.
Cook for a little longer if you prefer well-done steaks (if you want, you can add the steaks over the potatoes, in the oven, in the
last minutes or in the saucepan with the mushrooms).
Your fillet steaks with potatoes and mushrooms are ready!
Note
- - The veal fillet steaks with potatoes and mushrooms can be served in Sunday family meal but we suggest you to prepare it for a special occasion. It's too rich in fat and calories to become a common main dish in your weekly plan.
- - It's perfect to be served in a typical Italian menu. In fact it matches well with other authentic Italian food.
Healthy eating
- - As you can see the fillet with mushrooms and potatoes is not exactly a dish with few calories and fat.
His caloric intake comes mainly from the high amount of seasonings and the meat portion which is higher than normal (portion of meat per day per person = 100 g).
It will also be good to combine butter and oil, but then you pay the consequences. Think about it every time you are offered tantalizing recipes like this one. They can not become the normal diet. On the contrary must be the exception.
