By sheilaolim

Pair steak with classic sides like mashed potatoes and steamed green beans. This menu comes together easily, but is sophisticated enough to share with guests.

Sprinkle both sides of steaks evenly with salt and black pepper. Heat a large nonstick skillet

each side or until desired degree of doneness. Remove steaks from pan; keep warm.
Add garlic and red pepper to pan; sauté 30 seconds. Add sherry to pan; bring to a boil. Cook 30
seconds. Add soy sauce and remaining ingredients; bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Reduce
