Flank Steak with Creamy Mushroom Sauce

I ended up making this, because D had to work. It was pretty easy to make, although it took me a few minutes to figure out how to use the broiler. It tasted like Creamy Beef and Noodles. It was pretty good. I messed up the cutting of the steak (I cut with the grain, and it got stringy), but other than that, I think I did good. I made egg noodles to go with it.
