Balsamic Flank Steak and Mushrooms

Great for mid-week entertaining. Easy and impressive but will require at least 8 hours or over night marinating. You can refrigerate this for up to 2 days for more intense flavour. Since the experts do not suggest using the marinade where the meat sat for sometime, I think it is advisable to double the marinade and divide it in half and use the reserved part for later.
