steak and broccoli recipe
- Total Time: 40 minutes
- Yield: 4 servings 1x
- Diet: general
Description
This quick one-pan recipe features tender seared steak and crisp broccoli florets tossed in a sweet and smoky chili-lime glaze. It’s a complete meal that comes together in under 30 minutes for a healthy weeknight dinner.
Ingredients
- 18.0–21.0 oz (500–600 g) boneless sirloin or ribeye steak, 1 inch thick
- 1.0 lb (500 g) fresh broccoli florets
- 2.0 tbsp (30 mL) olive oil, divided
- 1.0 tsp smoked paprika
- 0.5 tsp chili powder
- to taste coarse sea salt and black pepper
- 4 cloves minced fresh garlic
- 0.25 cup (60 mL) maple syrup
- 2.0 tbsp (30 mL) fresh lime juice
- 0.5 cup (120 mL) vegetable broth
- 1.5 tsp cornstarch dissolved in 1 tbsp cold water (slurry)
- 0.25 cup (15 g) fresh cilantro, roughly chopped
- 1 lime finely grated zest
Instructions
- Prep Steak: Pat the steak thoroughly dry and season both sides generously with salt and pepper. Let it rest at room temperature for 15-20 minutes.
- Sear Steak: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the steak for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer for desired doneness, until a deep brown crust forms. Remove the steak immediately and let it rest on a cutting board, tented with foil.
- Sauté Broccoli: Reduce heat to medium and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the same skillet. Add the broccoli florets and sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender-crisp with some charring. Remove the broccoli and set it aside with the steak.
- Prepare Glaze: In a small saucepan, combine the minced garlic, maple syrup, lime juice, smoked paprika, chili powder, and vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring to combine.
- Thicken Glaze: Slowly whisk the prepared cornstarch slurry into the simmering glaze. Continue to cook and stir constantly for 1-2 minutes, allowing the glaze to thicken to a glossy, pourable consistency. Remove from heat.
- Combine and Finish: Return the rested steak and sautéed broccoli to the skillet. Drizzle about half of the prepared glaze over them, tossing gently to coat evenly and warm everything back through (1-2 minutes).
- Slice and Serve: Slice the steak against the grain into 1 cm (0.5 inch) pieces. Plate with the glazed broccoli and generously drizzle the remaining glaze over both the steak and broccoli before garnishing with fresh cilantro and lime zest.
Notes
For best results, pat the steak completely dry before searing to achieve a good crust. Ensure the pan is very hot before adding the steak. Use fresh broccoli, as frozen broccoli releases too much water. Rest the cooked steak for 5-10 minutes before slicing to keep it juicy.
