Ingredients
Scale
- 3 Tablespoons light brown sugar, packed
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 4 cloves garlic, finely minced
- ½ cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 Tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
- 2 Tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 ¼ pounds flank steak, sliced against the grain into bite-sized pieces
- 4 cups broccoli florets
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- 1 Tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 Tablespoon cold water
- Cooked white or brown rice
- 3 sliced green onions
- Sesame seeds
Instructions
- To a large bowl, add 3 Tablespoons light brown sugar, packed, ¼ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon black pepper, 4 cloves garlic, finely minced, ½ cup low-sodium soy sauce, 1 Tablespoon honey, 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil, 2 Tablespoons apple cider vinegar, 1 teaspoon ground ginger and ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes. Whisk to combine.
- Add 1 ¼ pounds flank steak, sliced against the grain into bite-sized pieces to marinade, toss to combine, cover and reserve the marinade. Bake for about 10 minutes (or longer until steak reaches a safe eating temperature of a minimum of 145F degrees and broccoli is cooked.)
- Add reserved marinade to a small saucepan and bring it to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Whisk together 1 Tablespoon cornstarch and 1 Tablespoon cold water in a small bowl until smooth. Add cornstarch slurry to saucepan, whisking constantly for 30-60 seconds. Allow sauce to thicken to desired consistency. If it gets too thick you can always add a little water at a time until it reaches your desired consistency.
- Remove sheet pan from oven.
- OPTIONAL STEP: Set the oven broiler to HIGH. Spoon half of the sauce on top of the beef and broccoli. Place under the broiler for 1-2 minutes. Do not walk away while broiling – it can burn quickly if you aren’t paying close attention.
- Serve beef and broccoli over cooked white or brown rice, garnished with sliced green onions, sesame seeds and more sauce, if desired. Enjoy!
Notes
- For a more tender steak, let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- For a thicker sauce, increase the amount of cornstarch.
