    List of Ingredients

    Low Carb Asian Steak Dinner with Soy Sesame Sauce



    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

    Recipe




    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.


    In a small bowl, stir together broth, sherry, soy sauce, ginger, and cornstarch. Set aside. Melt butter in oil in a wide nonstick frying pan over medium-high heat. When butter sizzles, add steak. 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.


    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).


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


    Makes 4 servings. 2.7 net grams of carbohydrate per serving.


    * You can further reduce carbs by substituting not/Starch or guar gum for the corn starch, but it only changes the count by .5 grams per serving, and the cornstarch is frankly, easier, in this case
