Ingredients

  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 (1 pound) flank steak, trimmed
  • Cooking spray
  • 1/2 cup onion, chopped
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 2 cups shiitake mushroom caps, thinly sliced (about 1/2 pound mushrooms)
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1/3 cup dry white wine
  • 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1/2 cup green onions, minced

Directions

  1. Preheat broiler.
  2. To prepare steak, sprinkle salt and pepper evenly over both sides of steak. Place steak on a broiler pan coated with cooking spray; broil 5 minutes on each side or until desired degree of doneness. Remove the steak from oven; loosely cover with foil.

  3. To prepare sauce, heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add 1/2 cup onion and garlic; sauté 2 minutes. Add mushrooms; sauté for 4 minutes. Add broth, wine, and vinegar. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to medium, and cook until reduced to 1 1/4 cups (about 6 minutes). Add green onions, and cook for 1 minute.

  4. Slice steak diagonally across the grain into 1/4-inch slices. Serve steak with mushroom sauce.
