  4. Add the sauce to the same and bring to a boil and allow to thicken a little bit and use a wooden spoon to scrape the bottom of the skillet. Add the cooked steak and combine to allow the sauce to coat the beef. In case the sauce is not thickened to your preference make a slurry (cornstarch and water) and add a small amount of the slurry to the skillet. Allow everything to warm up and well coated.
