Sheet pan dinners are my absolute favorite recipes to create. There is nothing more satisfying than having dinner done in around 30 minutes with limited dishes and mess. This Sheet Pan Beef and Broccoli recipe is perfect for weekly meal prep, busy nights or when you feel like take-out, but can make it even better yourself.
Preparing the Beef
This recipe uses flank steak, which is a good all-purpose cut of beef for roasting. It also is very flavorful, especially when marinated as this recipe calls for.
To slice the beef for placing in the marinade, use a 6-3/4" Petite Carver to cut strips against the grain and then rotate the strips to cut into bite-sized cubes.
Definitely don’t skip marinating the meat for at least 10 to 15 minutes, it will ensure you have a nice juicy steak packed with flavor.
The marinade is a simple one that calls for low-sodium soy sauce which has about 40 percent less sodium than regular soy sauce, and I bet you won’t even notice the difference.
Use a Mix-Stir to blend together the soy sauce, minced garlic, honey, brown sugar, sesame oil, rice vinegar and ginger. If you’re feeling adventurous, toss in a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes.
Prepping the Broccoli
Roasting broccoli is a great way to prepare it since it gives it a nice caramelized, nutty flavor. To ensure that each piece cooks evenly, try to keep them of similar size when cutting them from the crown. A pointed utility knife like the Trimmer is a good choice for getting the job done.
Once the meat is finished marinating, remove it from the bowl. Place the broccoli florets in the marinade and toss them around to coat before placing everything onto a sheet pan and then popping it into the oven.
When finished, garnish beef and broccoli with sliced green onions if you like. For a pretty presentation, slice them on the bias using a 5" Petite Santoku.
This Sheet Pan Beef and Broccoli is sure to satisfy your Asian take-out craving. The zesty, juicy steak is the perfect complement to the crisp broccoli. Feel free to serve it up with rice, cauliflower rice or quinoa.
It is a perfect take-out fake-out. You’ll have this dinner in the oven before your family can even agree on what they want to order from a restaurant and it is healthier, too.
