Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb (454 g) flank steak or tenderloin, sliced thin
- ½ cup tamari or soy sauce
- 3 tbsps maple syrup or honey
- 3 cups broccoli florets
- 2–3 tbsps gochujang (Korean chili paste)
- 4 cloves garlic, chopped
- 2 tbsps sesame or olive oil
- 2 shallots, sliced
- 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil
- 3 Persian cucumbers, sliced
- 2 tbsps sesame seeds
- ⅓ cup pickled ginger, patted dry
- 2 tbsps ginger juice (from pickled ginger jar)
- ¼ cup chopped green onions
- 1 tbsp flour (or gluten-free flour)
- Black pepper, to taste
- Chili flakes, to taste
- Salt, to taste
- Spicy mayo, for serving
Instructions
- Preparation: Preheat oven to 475° F, line a sheet pan with parchment paper or lightly oil the surface to prevent sticking.
- Seasoning: Combine sliced steak with shallots, black pepper, and flour on the sheet pan. Coat evenly with sesame oil, then incorporate pickled ginger, massaging thoroughly to distribute flavors.
- Roasting: Arrange steak on one side of the pan, placing broccoli florets alongside. Drizzle vegetables with oil, season with salt and pepper. Roast in the oven for 10 minutes, developing deep, caramelized notes.
- Sauce Creation: Whisk together tamari, maple syrup, gochujang, ginger juice, minced garlic, and toasted sesame oil in a mixing bowl. Sprinkle sesame seeds to enhance the sauce’s complexity and depth.
- Finishing: Remove pan from oven, separate broccoli, and generously coat steak with two-thirds of the prepared sauce. Activate broiler to crisp and caramelize the meat for 2-5 minutes, intensifying its flavor profile.
- Accompaniment: Compose a cucumber salad by mixing sliced cucumbers, green onions, chili flakes, and salt. Drizzle with toasted sesame oil to elevate the dish’s aromatic qualities.
- Plating: Present the crisp beef and roasted broccoli alongside the cucumber salad. Embellish with remaining sauce, optional spicy mayo, and a garnish of green onions for a final flourish.
Notes
- Preheat Wisely: High heat at 475°F ensures quick searing and caramelization without drying out the meat.
- Coat Evenly: Thoroughly massage oil and seasonings to guarantee maximum flavor absorption and uniform cooking.
- Sauce Strategy: Reserve some sauce for final drizzling to enhance taste and add vibrant moisture to the finished dish.
- Broiler Timing: Watch closely during the 2-5 minute broiling stage to prevent burning and achieve perfect caramelization.
