Directions

Season steaks all over with Chinese five spice powder and salt and pepper to taste.

Heat butter and oil over medium-high heat in large stainless steel or cast iron skillet. Add steaks. Sear and cook until golden brown for 6 to 12 minutes, turning at least twice, for medium-rare doneness 145˚F (63˚C). Remove steaks and set aside.

Return skillet to medium-high heat. Add broth, maple syrup and chili-garlic sauce; bring to boil, scraping up any browned bits from bottom of pan. Meanwhile, mix cornstarch with 2 tsp (10 mL) water.; whisk into sauce and cook until thickened, about 2 minutes. Stir in green onions. Serve drizzled over steaks.
