15-Minute Sheet Pan Beef and Broccoli
Description
15-Minute Sheet Pan Beef and Broccoli features flank steak slices marinated in a blend of low-sodium soy sauce, minced garlic, honey, brown sugar, sesame oil, rice vinegar, ground ginger, and optional spices such as cayenne pepper or black pepper. After a short marinade, the steak pieces are spread out on a foil-lined sheet pan alongside broccoli florets that are briefly dunked in the marinade to absorb flavor. Baking at 425°F for about 10 to 12 minutes cooks both components until the steak is done through and the broccoli is tender yet retains some bite, with lightly caramelized surfaces. The marinade balances salty, sweet, and tangy notes, with the sesame oil adding richness and mild nuttiness. This recipe can be garnished with sliced green onions and sesame seeds if desired and serves as a practical dish for a weeknight meal requiring minimal cleanup.
Ingredients
- ½ cup soy sauce low-sodium
- 4 to 5 cloves garlic finely minced or pressed
- 2 to 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar packed
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 2 to 3 teaspoons ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt optional and to taste (soy sauce already has salt)
- 1 teaspoon black pepper or to taste, freshly ground
- pinch cayenne pepper optional and to taste, or red pepper flakes
- 1 to 1.25 pounds flank steak sliced against the grain in bite size pieces
- broccoli 4 to 6 cups florets
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch optional (see step 7.)
- 1 tablespoon water optional (see step 7, cold
- 2 to 3 green onion optional for garnishing, sliced in 1-inch segments on the bias
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds optional for garnishing
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425F and line a sheet pan with aluminum foil for easier cleanup; set aside.
- To a large bowl add the soy sauce, garlic, honey, brown sugar, sesame oil, rice vinegar, ginger, optional salt, pepper, optional cayenne or red pepper flakes, and whisk to combine.
- Add the steak, stir to combine, and let it marinate for 10 to 15 minutes (if you have time and can marinate for up to 1 hour, even better).
- Using a tongs or a slotted spoon, transfer the steak to the sheet pan with space in between the pieces; set aside.
- Add the broccoli (I use 6 cups because we like a lot of broccoli, use less if desired) to the marinade mixture and give it a quick dunk, you just want to moisten it a bit. Using a tongs or a slotted spoon, transfer the broccoli to the sheet pan, and scatter it in between the steak if possible so food isn’t overlapping too much; reserve the marinade.
- Bake for about 10 to 12 minutes, or until the steak is cooked through and the broccoli is fork-tender.
- While the food bakes, optionally add the reserved marinade to a small saucepan and bring it to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Add the cornstarch and cold water to a small bowl, stir to combine, and all the cornstarch slurry to the boiling saucepan, whisking nearly constantly for 30 seconds or until dissolved. The sauce will get very thick quickly because there’s not much quantity. If desired, add about 1/4 to 1/2 cup water as desired for consistency, whisking until incorporated and smooth.
- After the beef and broccoli are done, evenly drizzle with the sauce, to taste.
- Evenly garnish with optional green onions, optional sesame seeds, and serve immediately.
Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days to maintain freshness.
