Step 1: Whisk together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, brown sugar, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes to make the marinade.
Step 2: Coat the steak in the marinade then cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes up to 2 hours.
Step 3: Line a sheet pan with parchment paper before transferring the steak on with tongs.
Step 4: Toss the broccoli in the leftover marinade until well coated.
Quick Tip
For the best flavor and texture, slice the beef thinly against the grain and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes—this helps tenderize the meat and ensures it soaks up all the delicious flavors of the sauce!
Step 5: Then add the broccoli to the sheet pan and spread the steak and broccoli in a single layer. Spoon over any remaining marinade.
Step 6: Bake at 435°F for 12-14 minutes then broil for an additional 2 minutes. Keep an eye on it so it doesn't burn!
Step 7: If you'd like, garnish with sesame seeds. Serve with with rice and pour any remaining juices over the serving of steak and broccoli.
Insider Tips from My Kitchen to Yours
✔️ DO slice the beef thinly against the grain and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes so it stays tender and absorbs the sauce.
❌ DO NOT overcrowd the sheet pan or the broccoli will steam instead of roast and won’t develop good flavor.
Prep Ahead Tips
- You can easily prepare this meal ahead of time by slicing the beef, cutting up the broccoli, and mix the sauce up to a day ahead.
- Store them separately in the refrigerator and combine just before cooking.
- If you wanted to, you could also marinate the beef overnight to enhance flavor and tenderness.
- For added convenience, pre-measure and store dry ingredients like cornstarch and seasonings in a small container.
- If using frozen broccoli, let it thaw slightly and pat it dry before cooking to avoid excess moisture.

Marinating the steak enhances its tenderness and flavor, especially if using a lean cut. For best results, let the beef sit in the marinade for at least 15-30 minutes before cooking.
Storage and Reheating Instructions
Refrigerate: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Make sure the beef and broccoli cools completely before sealing to prevent condensation.
Freezer: Allow the beef and broccoli to cool completely before transferring to an airtight, freezer-safe container or a resealable freezer bag. Store in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Thaw and Reheat: Allow to defrost overnight in the refrigerator. Reheat in a 375°F oven for about 10 minutes or in a skillet over medium heat until warmed through. Avoid microwaving for extended periods to prevent the beef from becoming chewy.

That being said - this looks like my kinda recipe - so thanks for sharing!
