I grilled the steak, rather than pan frying. I added the marinade with the butter for the mushrooms up front rather than halfway through. My tomatoes had gone bad so I left that off. Those are the only changes I made. I like lemon, but I think this really had too much. The marinade smelled wonderful, but the lemon flavor was quite noticeable after the steak was cooked. I suggest reducing the lemon to 2T instead of 3. I don't cook steak all that often, so I'm not sure if I'll use this again, but it did make for an enjoyable meal.
