    Source of Recipe


    Cooking softwear
    4 6 ounce boneless sirloin steaks, fat trimmed
    1 Tbs. oil
    1 large fennel bulb, thinly sliced
    1 cup beef stockor unsalted chicken stock
    1/4 cup dry white wine
    1 large carrot, peeled and grated
    1 Tbs. cornstarch
    2 Tbs. water

    Place steak pieces between 2 sheets of wax paper and pound lightly with a mallet or other heavy flat object to flatten to 1/2 inch thickness. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

    Heat 1 tsp. oil in a heavy nonstick skillet over medium high heat and sear meat on both sides.

    Transfer meat to a plate and set aside. Heat remaining oil in same skillet and add fennel. Sauté 10-12 minutes, until it begins to brown, stirring occasionally.

    Return meat to skillet. Pour in stock and wine and, if necessary, enough water to raise the liquid level 2/3 up the side of the meat. Bring liquid to a simmer, cover and braise 25 minutes. Turn meat and continue to cook 20 minutes. Stir carrot into skillet and cook 10 minutes. Mix cornstarch with water in a bowl. Whisk cornstarch mixture into simmering liquid. Stir constantly until sauce thickens slightly.
