Step 1
Start by mixing the onions, mushrooms, olive oil, vinegar, soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, and pepper in a medium bowl. Put the steaks into a large zip-top bag and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag and pop it in the fridge to marinate for at least 8 hours, or overnight if you have the time.

Step 2
When you’re ready to cook, position your oven rack about 6 inches from the broiler and preheat it. Line a baking sheet with foil, then lay the steaks on top. Broil the steaks for about 8 minutes on each side, until they’re hot through but still have a little pink in the center.

Step 3
While the steaks are cooking, pour the onions, mushrooms, and any leftover marinade into a small saucepan. Let it simmer gently over medium-low heat until the steaks are done. Once everything’s ready, spoon the sauce with the onions and mushrooms over the steaks and serve.

How to serve
Pair the steak with roasted vegetables or a fresh salad to balance the richness. A glass of red wine or sparkling water with a slice of lemon also complements the meal beautifully.
Storage & leftovers
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. Reheat gently in a pan over low heat to keep the steak tender and juicy.
