Sheet pan beef and broccoli

From Damn Delicious

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 cup basmati rice
• 1 1/2 pounds New York strip steak, cut into 1-inch chunks
• 3 tablespoons reduced sodium soy sauce, divided
• 2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons brown sugar, divided
• 2 heads broccoli, cut into florets*
• 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
• 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
• 2 green onions, thinly sliced
• 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds

DIRECTIONS:

1. In a large saucepan of 2 cups water, cook rice according to package instructions; set aside.
2. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Lightly oil a baking sheet or coat with nonstick spray.
3. In a large bowl, combine steak, 1 tablespoon soy sauce and 2 teaspoons brown sugar. Place steak and broccoli in a single layer onto the prepared baking sheet.
4. Place into oven and bake until steak is browned and broccoli is just tender, about 13 minutes.
5. In a small saucepan over medium low heat, combine sesame oil, garlic, ginger, red pepper flakes, remaining 2 tablespoons soy sauce and remaining 2 tablespoons brown sugar. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer, stirring constantly, until slightly thickened, about 2-3 minutes.
6. Serve steak and broccoli immediately with rice, drizzled with soy sauce mixture and garnished with green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.

Notes from Jill's Kitchen:
This was easy and delicious. I cooked it for 15 min with mostly frozen beef and it was too long. The meat was perfect when it came out of the oven, but over cooked as it rested. I am adjusting the cooking time in the recipe for next time.
