Pan Roasted Steak and Onions

1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce
2 cloves of garlic minced
1 lb flank steak
1 tablespoon cracked black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup fat free chicken broth ( yes chicken broth)
1 med. onion cut into 1/2" rings

In a large nonaluminium baking dish combine the oil, vinegar, worcestershire sauce, mustard and garlic. Cover and put in ref. for 30 min to overnight turning once.

Coat a non stick skillet with cooking spray. Place over medium-high heat. Sprinkle the steak with the pepper and salt. Brown for 2 minutes per side. Add 1/2 cup of the broth: cook for 5-6 minutes per side for medium rare. Remove the steak from the skillet, cover the steak loosely to keep it warm. Reduce the heat to medium . Add the onion slices to the skillet and cook until golden brown about 4-5 minutes. Add the remaining broth as needed to prevent the onions from sticking. Thinly slice the steak across the grain and serve with the onions.
