  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 beef top sirloin or flank steak (1 1/4 lb)
  • 3/4 cup Progresso™ beef-flavored broth (from 32-oz carton)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons instant espresso coffee powder or granules
  • 1 teaspoon packed brown sugar

Steps

    Heat oven to 350°F. In 12-inch ovenproof skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil over medium-high heat. Sprinkle salt and pepper over both sides of beef. Place beef in skillet; cook 4 to 6 minutes, turning once, until golden brown on both sides. Place skillet in oven; bake 10 to 15 minutes or until meat thermometer inserted into thickest part of beef reads 165°F.

    In small bowl, stir together 2 tablespoons broth and the cornstarch until cornstarch is dissolved. Stir into coffee-chile sauce. Cook 3 to 5 minutes, stirring constantly, until sauce thickens.
