This recipe is a staple in our house. I double the sauce, swap out the steak based on what’s on sale/what I have on hand (flank steak, burnt ends), and toss the broccoli in a little oil before hitting the oven. So freaking easy and so few dishes.

how to make sheet pan beef and broccoli
- Cook the rice. Cook the basmati rice according to package instructions. Pro tip: always rinse the rice in cold water first until the water runs clear to remove any excess starch.
- Prep the steak. Combine the steak with soy sauce and brown sugar.
- Bake. Arrange the steak and broccoli on a sheet pan in a single layer and bake until the steak is browned and the broccoli is crisp-tender, about 16-18 minutes.
- Make the sauce. While the steak and broccoli are baking, combine the sesame oil, garlic, ginger, red pepper flakes, soy sauce and brown sugar in a small saucepan over medium low heat until slightly thickened, about 2-3 minutes.
- Serve. Serve the beef and broccoli with the cooked rice, drizzling or spooning the sauce over top and garnishing with green onions and sesame seeds.

Sheet Pan Beef and Broccoli
This sheet pan beef and broccoli is a fast and easy dinner! With juicy, tender steak, crisp-tender broccoli and a savory soy-garlic sauce!
Ingredients
- 1 cup basmati rice
- 1 ½ pounds New York strip steak, cut into 1-inch chunks
- 1 tablespoon reduced sodium soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons brown sugar
- 2 heads broccoli, cut into florets, about 8 cups
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
- 2 teaspoons toasted sesame seeds
For the sauce
- 2 tablespoons reduced sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
- ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
Instructions
- In a small saucepan of 2 cups water, cook rice according to package instructions; set aside.
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Lightly oil a baking sheet or coat with nonstick spray.
- In a large bowl, combine steak, soy sauce and brown sugar. Place steak and broccoli in a single layer onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Place into oven and bake until steak is browned and broccoli is just tender, about 16-18 minutes.
- Serve steak and broccoli immediately with rice, drizzled with soy sauce mixture and garnished with green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.
For the sauce

Equipment
Notes
- Use a good quality sheet pan. A durable sheet pan is ideal – it will last for years with minimal wear and tear, and will help achieve even cooking and avoid warping at high temperatures.
- Use reduced sodium soy sauce. Reduced sodium has less sodium and less salt without compromising flavor.
- Cut in uniform pieces. Cut the broccoli into similar-sized florets for even cooking.
- Avoid an overcrowded sheet pan. An overcrowded pan will steam the beef and broccoli instead. Use two sheet pans, if needed, ensuring that the ingredients do not overlap.
- Serve with your favorite grains. White rice, brown rice, cauliflower rice, quinoa or farro are all great options.
- Freeze as needed. Beef and broccoli is incredibly freezer-friendly. Always freeze in plastic freezer bags in individual servings for easy thawing, and label, date, and freeze up to 2 months.
- Double the sauce. Need extra sauce for sopping with rice? The sauce portion can easily be doubled or tripled!

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….
