This was really tasty. I paired it with linguine (which was not a good pairing) because we don't like polenta. The steak and mushrooms were glorious and next time I will pair them with baked potatoes and some sort of vegetable, maybe carrots. I made this for PAC Spring 2013.

Delicious sauce for grilled sirloin! We quite enjoyed this, but did not make the polenta suggested. I am planning on doing so next time!
