It doesn't get much better in terms of simple culinary pleasures than a finely grilled steak. If you pick the right cut of meat, you don't need much more than some oil, salt and pepper. But sometimes you want to dress it up a little, and nothing compliments a steak quite like a mushroom.

When it comes to mushrooms, balsamic vinegar is a great go-to ingredient. The acidity of the vinegar pairs perfectly with the earthiness of the mushrooms. Just toss in some garlic and a hint of Worcestershire to take the flavor to the next level and you have yourself a killer steak topper.

Give this reduction a try next time you want to get a little fancier with your steak, as it's sure to impress at your next dinner party!
