Sheet Pan Beef and Broccoli


Sheet Pan Beef and Broccoli
Ingredients
- ½ cup low sodium soy sauce
- ¼ cup beef broth
- 3 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
- 4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- ½ teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
- ¼ teaspoon cracked black pepper
- 1½ pounds flank steak, thinly sliced across the grain
- 1 head broccoli, cut into florets
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil, optional
- ¼ cup sliced green onions
- 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425˚F. Spray a large sheet pan with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, add soy sauce, beef broth, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, salt, and pepper; whisk until sugar is fully dissolved. Add the steak, and marinate for 30 minutes or up to 1 hour.
- Transfer the steak to the sheet pan (without the marinade). Dip the broccoli into the marinade (just for a few seconds) and quickly place on the sheet pan with the steak.
- Roast for about 10 to 12 minutes, or until the steak is cooked through and the broccoli is fork-tender.
- Meanwhile, heat the remaining marinade in a small saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat.
- In a small bowl, combine cornstarch and water and stir to make a slurry. Add cornstarch mixture to the saucepan and whisk for 1 minute or until sauce has just started to thicken. If desired, add about 1/4 to 1/2 cup water for a thinner sauce.
- Once the beef and broccoli are done, evenly drizzle with the sauce until completely coated. Finish off with a drizzle of sesame oil and top with green onions and sesame seeds. Enjoy!
