I tried making a sauteed steak today. Unfortunately, I don't think there was enough left over beef junk to properly make sauce portion of the dish. However, you can always cover that up with fancy ingredients like madeira, shallots & crushed green peppercorns.

FYI, this is the second recipe I've made out of The Essentials of Cooking. My goal is to try every single technique in the book at least once.

Wish me luck.
