How to Make Asian Steak Dinner Low Carb

  1. Cut steak (about 1.5 lbs) into 4 equal portions.
  2. Place each steak portion between two sheets of plastic wrap.
  3. Using a meat mallet, gently pound each steak to a thickness of 1/3 to 1/2 inch.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup low-sodium beef broth, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger, and 1 tablespoon cornstarch.
  5. Set aside the sauce mixture.
  6. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in 1 tablespoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
  7. Add steaks to the hot skillet.
  8. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until well browned and cooked to your desired internal temperature (pink center for medium-rare).
  9. Use a meat thermometer to check doneness (130-135°F for medium-rare).
  10. Transfer the cooked steaks to a platter and keep warm.
  11. Pour the sauce mixture into the skillet. Increase heat to high and bring to a boil, whisking constantly.
  12. Reduce heat and simmer for 1-2 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly.
  13. Pour the sauce over the steaks.
  14. Drizzle with 1 teaspoon sesame oil and sprinkle with 2 tablespoons chopped green onions.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
