Preparation
Preheat the broiler and set an oven rack in the top position.
Heat the oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the ginger and cook for a few minutes, until softened and fragrant. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute more. Do not brown.
Add the dry Sherry, soy sauce, tomato paste, brown sugar and water; bring to a boil, then turn the heat down and simmer gently for 8 to 10 minutes, until just slightly thickened. Add the sesame oil and butter and stir until the butter is melted. Set aside.
Season the steak on both sides with salt and pepper and place on a broiler pan.
Broil the steak to desired doneness, about 5 minutes per side for medium-rare.
Using tongs, transfer the steak to a cutting board; cover with foil and let rest for 10 minutes to let the juices settle.
Cut the steak into thin slices across the grain, serve with the sauce, and enjoy!
