We grilled the meat. Very bland across the board. Really needs to be spiced up.
Flank Steak with Shiitake Mushroom Sauce
Lee Harrelson
A rich balsamic-spiked mushroom sauce enhances the natural flavor of tender flank steak. Allow the meat to rest for a few minutes after broiling to keep it juicy.
Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 3 ounces steak and about 1/3 cup sauce)
