Steps:
- Place the roast in a shallow baking dish and rub with the salt and pepper. Place in the refrigerator uncovered 8 hours or overnight. Before cooking, let the roast sit at room temperature for about 1 hour. Using a thin sharp knife, poke slits all over the top and sides of the roast and stuff each slit with a garlic sliver.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- In a medium roasting pan fitted with a rack, place the beef on the rack and pour 1 cup water, 1/4 cup broth, and 1/2 cup wine into the bottom of the pan. Roast the beef for 15 minutes and turn down the heat to 325 degrees F. Cook for an additional 45 minutes to an hour, until the internal temperature of the beef is 120 degrees F, adding the remaining 1/4 cup water to the pan, if necessary.
- Remove the roast from the oven, transfer the roast to a warmed platter and tent with foil to rest. Meanwhile, place the roasting pan over high heat and deglaze with the remaining wine. Add a large sprig of fresh rosemary to the sauce. Reduce by 1/3. Stir the flour into the remaining 3/4 cup broth and then whisk into the sauce. Simmer until thickened. Remove the rosemary sprig, stir in the butter and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Serve the sauce with the sliced roast beef.

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.

ROAST BEEF WITH MARSALA GRAVY
This recipe is one of Melissa d'Arabian's holiday recipes. I made it for my Christmas dinner and it was excellent. I do think that I will use another kind of roast next time, as the bottom of the round roast was rather tough. (A rump roast might be nice.) I added 1 lb. button mushrooms to the sauce, and doubled the wine. I also made my gravy with flour and water and thickened it with much more flour than what it called for (more like 1/2 cup. flour and 1/2-3/4 cup water... I just eyeballed it and didn't measure). It was very much enjoyed!

CHICKEN MARSALA EN CROUTE
I love puff pastry and chicken Marsala, so I decided to combine the two. The result is a very special meal perfect for Sunday dinner or any special occasion. Be sure to keep the puff pastry chilled so it is easier to work with. -Lorraine Russo, Mahwah, New Jersey

CLASSIC VEAL MARSALA
I've spent extensive time eating my way through Italy. This recipe is modified from a restaurant in Bagnione, Italy. I've substituted a combination of low-salt beef and chicken broth in place of veal stock. Pork medallions, pounded out, are also commonly substituted.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C).
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly coat the veal medallions in flour, and season with salt and pepper. Cook in the heated skillet about 5 minutes, to an internal temperature of 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Remove from the skillet, place in a baking dish covered with foil, and keep warm in the preheated oven until ready to serve.
- Heat the remaining olive oil in the skillet over medium low heat, and saute the shallot and mushrooms, scraping up any browned bits, until shallots are tender. Increase heat to medium high, and stir in the Marsala and garlic. Cook and stir until thickened. Mix the chicken broth and beef broth into the skillet, and continue to cook and stir until reduced to about 1/4 cup. Remove from heat, and whisk in the butter until melted. Serve over the veal.

Tips:
- To ensure the beef en croute is cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. The beef should reach an internal temperature of 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare, 145°F (63°C) for medium, or 155°F (68°C) for medium-well.
- To prevent the pastry from becoming soggy, brush the inside of the puff pastry with a beaten egg before adding the beef filling.
- If you don't have a meat mallet, you can use a rolling pin to flatten the beef tenderloin.
- To make the Marsala sauce, use a good quality Marsala wine. A dry Marsala is best.
- Serve the beef en croute with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a salad.
Conclusion:
Beef en croute is a classic French dish that is perfect for a special occasion. It is a delicious and elegant dish that is sure to impress your guests. The combination of tender beef, flaky pastry, and rich Marsala sauce is simply divine. With a little planning and effort, you can make this dish at home and enjoy a taste of French cuisine.
