This is more than a 5-star recipe! I just loved the mushrooms, and the steak was awesome as well. Rubbing the steak with lemon I think made all the difference. I did change the technique for the mushroom sauce just a bit - I sauteed the onions in the butter, and THEN added the milk, wine, etc. Regardless, it was delicious!! Thanks for posting!
