How to Make Stir Fried Beef With Madeira Sauce

  1. Trim visible fat from 1 lb beef sirloin steak.
  2. Partially freeze the steak for 30 minutes to make slicing easier. Then, slice diagonally across the grain into 1/8-inch thick strips.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine the beef strips with 1/4 cup Madeira wine and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Stir well, cover, and let stand for 15 minutes. Drain the beef, reserving the marinade.
  4. Coat a large wok or skillet with cooking spray and heat over high heat until very hot.
  5. Add the beef strips to the hot pan and stir-fry for 1 minute, until lightly browned. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  6. Reduce heat to medium. Add 1/4 cup thinly sliced green onions to the pan and stir-fry for 30 seconds.
  7. Add the reserved marinade to the pan and bring to a boil.
  8. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon cornstarch, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 2 tablespoons cold water until smooth.
  9. Gradually whisk the cornstarch slurry into the simmering marinade in the pan.
  10. Return the beef to the pan. Cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency (about 1-2 minutes).
  11. Serve immediately over your choice of leafy greens.
