Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven broiler. Sprinkle pepper evenly over both sides of steak and place it on a broiler pan coated with water/oil mixture; broil for 5 minutes per side or until it reaches desired level of doneness. Remove from broiler and loosely cover with aluminum foil wrap. Meanwhile, prepare sauce: Coat a skillet over medium-high heat with cooking spray; add chopped onion and garlic and saute for 1 minute. Add mushrooms and saute for 2 minutes. Add broth, wine (or juice/vinegar) and balsamic vinegar. Bring to a boil then reduce heat to medium and cook until sauce is reduced to 1 1/2 cups (about 4 minutes). Add chopped green onion and cook for 1 minute. Carve steak across the grain (diagonally) into 1/4-inch slices; serve with mushroom sauce.
