Asian Steak Dinner with Soy Sesame Sauce

Ingredients:

• 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
  

Directions:

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 medium-high heat. When butter sizzles, add steak.
4. Cook, turning once, until steak is well browned on both sides and still pink in center; cut to test (2 to 3 minutes). Transfer to a platter and keep warm.
5. 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 (1 to 2 minutes).
6. Pour sauce over steak; drizzle with sesame oil to taste, then sprinkle with green onions.
