Asian Steak with Sesame Sauce

Prep Time:  60 Min

1 to 1 1/4 pounds top sirloin steak

1/2 cup beef broth

1/4 cup dry sherry

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger

1 teaspoon cornstarch*

2 teaspoons butter

2 teaspoons peanut or olive oil

1 to 2 teaspoons Asian (toasted) sesame oil

2 to 3 green onions, thinly sliced or cut lengthwise into slivers

 

1. Cut steak into 4 equal portions. Place each piece between 2 pieces of plastic wrap. With a heavy, flat-sided mallet, pound meat firmly but gently all over to a thickness of 1/3 to 1/2 inch.

 

2. In a small bowl, stir together broth, sherry, soy sauce, ginger, and cornstarch. Set aside.

 

3. Melt butter in oil in a wide nonstick frying pan over med-high heat.  When butter sizzles, add steak.  Cook, turning once,  until steak is well browned on both sides and still pink in the center, cut to test.  Place on a platter and keep warm.

 

4. Stir broth mixture, then add to pan, increase heat to high, and bring to a boil, stirring.  Then continue to boil and stir until slightly thickened.

 

5. Pour sauce over steak; drizzle with sesame oil to taste, then sprinkle with green onions.
