Instructions
- Begin by cutting the steak into four equal portions, ensuring even cooking for each piece.
- To tenderize the steak, place each portion between two pieces of plastic wrap. Using a heavy, flat-sided mallet, pound the meat gently but firmly until it reaches a thickness of about 1/3 to 1/2 inch, ensuring maximum tenderness.
- In a small bowl, combine the beef broth, soy sauce, freshly grated ginger, and cornstarch, mixing well. Set this flavorful marinade aside for later.
- Heat a wide nonstick frying pan over medium-high heat and melt the butter together with the olive oil. The mixture should sizzle as the butter melts, creating a rich base for the steak.
- Once the butter is sizzling, add the pounded steak portions to the pan. Cook them for about 2 to 3 minutes, turning once, until both sides are beautifully browned yet still pink in the center. You can cut into one piece to test for doneness.
- After cooking, transfer the steak to a platter and cover it to keep warm while you prepare the sauce.
- Return to the frying pan, giving the broth mixture a good stir before adding it to the pan. Increase the heat to high and bring the sauce to a vigorous boil, stirring continuously.
- Allow the sauce to boil for 1 to 2 minutes, or until it thickens slightly, enhancing its rich flavor.
- Pour the savory sauce generously over the warm steak and finish with a drizzle of sesame oil for that authentic Asian touch. Sprinkle the sliced green onions over the top for a burst of freshness and color.
