Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 1 pound (454 grams) flank steak or tenderloin, sliced thin
- 4 cloves garlic, chopped
- 1 tablespoon flour (or gluten-free flour)
Vegetables and Fresh Ingredients:
- 3 cups broccoli florets
- 2 shallots, sliced
- 3 Persian cucumbers, sliced
- ⅓ cup pickled ginger, patted dry
- ¼ cup chopped green onions
Sauces, Seasonings, and Oils:
- ½ cup tamari or soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
- 2–3 tablespoons gochujang (Korean chili paste)
- 2 tablespoons sesame or olive oil
- 2 tablespoons ginger juice (from pickled ginger jar)
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
- Black pepper, to taste
- Chili flakes, to taste
- Salt, to taste
- Spicy mayo, for serving
Instructions
- Ignite the oven to a searing 475° F. Shield a sheet pan with parchment paper or lightly oil its surface to prevent adhesion.
- Tumble sliced steak with shallots, black pepper, and flour on the sheet pan. Anoint with sesame oil, ensuring an even, glistening coating. Fold in pickled ginger, massaging thoroughly.
- Strategically position steak on one side of the pan, broccoli florets nestled alongside. Lavish vegetables with additional oil, salt, and pepper. Slide the pan into the fiery oven for a 10-minute roast.
- Craft a vibrant sauce by whisking tamari, maple syrup, gochujang, ginger juice, minced garlic, and toasted sesame oil in a mixing bowl. Sprinkle sesame seeds, transforming the mixture into a complex flavor elixir.
- Extract the pan from the oven. Nudge broccoli to one side and baptize the steak with two-thirds of the prepared sauce. Activate the broiler, allowing the meat to crisp and caramelize for 2-5 minutes.
- Assemble a zesty cucumber salad by combining sliced cucumbers, green onions, chili flakes, and salt. Drizzle with toasted sesame oil for an aromatic finish.
- Plate the crisp beef and tender broccoli alongside the refreshing cucumber salad. Crown the dish with remaining sauce, optional spicy mayo, and a sprinkle of green onions.
Notes
- Customize your sheet pan by using a silicone liner for easy cleanup and minimal oil usage.
- Slice steak against the grain to ensure maximum tenderness and easier chewing during meal time.
- Adjust Gochujang quantity based on personal spice tolerance for a personalized heat level.
