I made some adjustments to the sauce by doubling the soy sauce and adding about two tablespoons of water. I also substituted the garlic for minced garlic (probably a teaspoon and a half) and I used powder ginger.
I didn’t want any meat so I just microwaved a bag of broccoli and poured this sauce over.
It was absolutely wonderful. I will never get take out again.
That’s great! Thank you for your feedback! 🙂
Love, love, loved it. Our son, daughter-in-law and 2 small children stopped over unexpectedly for dinner. Made this and all loved it, including the 4 year old. My son wouldn’t leave without the recipe. Thank you for sharing this!
We love that!
Does the steak end up well done or still a little rare when cooked for that time frame?
It’s about medium well. 🙂
I’m obsessed with sheet pan meals! Thanks this is a good one.
Thank you for the recipe.. I love all the recipes you post they never disappoint. I made this tonight for dinner. My whole family liked it. The fresh broccoli I had was bad so I used frozen broccoli instead it worked just fine.
Thanks for sharing Christie! That’s great 🙂
Can I marinate the meat in the soy mixture before cooking?
What a great idea! But unfortunately, without having tried this myself, I cannot answer with certainty. But if you get a chance to try it, please let me know how it turns out! 🙂
Would this’ll work well with top sirloin?

Did you try it with top sirloin? Curious to see how it turned out.
I can’t wait to make it. I use your receipts often and my 18 year sold son loves them! What is a substitute for the sesame oil? We have an allergy to sesame seeds.
You can use any other light nut or seed oil such as peanut, sunflower or even a light olive oil. Hope that helps!
My daughter is also Allergic to sesame seeds, but the doctor informed me that sesame oil is okay because the protein you are allergic to in the seed is eliminated in the oil. It’s worth an ask as I find sesame oil can end up in a lot of things….
