Sheet Pan Beef and Broccoli
This sheet pan recipe features New York Strip steak chunks and broccoli florets baked together, served with basmati rice. The steak is marinated briefly in a soy sauce and brown sugar mix before roasting, which browns the beef and tenderizes the broccoli. A savory-sweet glaze with sesame oil, garlic, ginger, and a hint of crushed red pepper is simmered and drizzled over the plated dish, garnished with green onions and toasted sesame seeds for added texture and flavor contrast.
Ingredients
- 1 cup basmati rice
- 1 ½ pounds New York Strip steak cut into 1-inch chunks
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce divided, reduced sodium
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar divided, 2 teaspoons
- 2 broccoli cut into florets, heads
- 2 teaspoons sesame oil toasted
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger freshly grated
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes crushed
- 2 green onions thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds toasted
Instructions
- In a small saucepan of 2 cups water, cook rice according to package instructions; set aside.
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Lightly oil a baking sheet or coat with nonstick spray.
- In a large bowl, combine steak, 1 tablespoon soy sauce and 2 teaspoons brown sugar. Place steak and broccoli in a single layer onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Place into oven and bake until steak is browned and broccoli is just tender, about 16-18 minutes.
- In small saucepan over medium low heat, combine sesame oil, garlic, ginger, red pepper flakes, remaining 2 tablespoons soy sauce and remaining 2 tablespoons brown sugar. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer, stirring constantly, until slightly thickened, about 2-3 minutes.
- Serve steak and broccoli immediately with rice, drizzled with soy sauce mixture and garnished with green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.
Notes
- Use reduced sodium soy sauce to control salt level in the glaze.
- Cooking the rice separately according to package instructions ensures it cooks properly while roasting the beef and broccoli.
- Toast sesame seeds and oil separately for the best nutty flavor before using in the glaze and garnish.
- Slice green onions thinly for a delicate garnish that adds fresh, mild onion flavor.
