I wanted to try something new with beef, so I created this recipe. Now, I prepared this entree a few times a month. The sauce adds wonderful flavor, and it is versatile enough to go with just about any meat.—Bernadette Bennett, Waco, Texas

Ingredients

1 beef flank steak (1 pound)
1 tablespoon canola oil
1/4 cup dry red wine or beef broth
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon minced fresh basil or 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
MUSHROOM WINE SAUCE:
1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
3/4 cup beef broth
1/4 cup dry red wine or additional beef broth
1/4 cup chopped green onions
1 teaspoon butter
1 teaspoon pepper
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 tablespoon cold water

Directions

In a large skillet, brown steak in oil. Stir in the wine,
Worcestershire sauce and basil. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 2-4 minutes on each side or until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a meat thermometer should read 145°; medium, 160°; well-done, 170°). Remove steak and keep warm.
To the skillet, add the mushrooms, broth, onions, butter and pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes or until mushrooms are tender.
Combine cornstarch and water until smooth; gradually stir into sauce. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 1 minute or until thickened. Thinly slice steak across the grain; serve with sauce. Yield: 4 servings.
