→ Main Ingredients
11 -
1 to 1.25 pounds flank steak, sliced against the grain in bite-sized pieces
12 -
About 4 to 6 cups broccoli florets
13 -
1 tablespoon cornstarch, optional
14 -
1 tablespoon cold water, optional
15 -
2 to 3 green onions, sliced in 1-inch segments, optional for garnishing
16 -
1 tablespoon sesame seeds, optional for garnishing
# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat oven to 425°F and line a sheet pan with aluminum foil for easier cleanup; set aside.
02 -
In a large bowl, mix soy sauce, garlic, honey, brown sugar, sesame oil, rice vinegar, ginger, salt, pepper, and optional cayenne or red pepper flakes by whisking to combine.
03 -
Add the steak to the marinade and stir to coat. Let it marinate for 10 to 15 minutes. If time allows, marinate for up to 1 hour for better flavor.
04 -
Using tongs or a slotted spoon, transfer the steak to the sheet pan with space between each piece; set aside.
05 -
Add broccoli to the marinade mixture and quickly dunk to moisten it lightly. Using tongs or a slotted spoon, transfer broccoli to the sheet pan, scattering it between the steak pieces to prevent overlapping. Reserve the marinade.
06 -
Bake in the oven for about 10 to 12 minutes, or until the steak is cooked through and the broccoli is fork-tender.
07 -
While the food bakes, bring the reserved marinade to a boil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Mix cornstarch and cold water in a small bowl to form a slurry, then add to the boiling marinade, whisking constantly for 30 seconds until thickened. If needed, add 1/4 to 1/2 cup water to adjust the consistency, whisking until smooth.
08 -
Drizzle the sauce evenly over the cooked beef and broccoli. Optionally garnish with green onions and sesame seeds. Serve immediately.
