Ingredients
4 (4 ounce) beef tenderloin steaks, cut 3/4 inch thick
1/2 cup dried porcini mushrooms
4 teaspoons all-purpose flour, divided
1 teaspoon salt, divided
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1/2 cup chopped onion
4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1 1/2 cups (4 ounces) thinly-sliced shiitake mushroom caps
1 1/2 cups (4 ounces) thinly-sliced cremini mushrooms
1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
1/2 cup Marsala wine
2/3 cup beef broth

Instructions
