With longer days and nicer weather, and hopefully more time outside, simple meals are what we need. That’s really just life in general, but everyone can appreciate a nice quick and easy sheet pan dinner.
It might just be my new favorite way to do a quick, weeknight steak stir fry.
When I set out to create this recipe, I really wanted to do my best to recreate something we’d order in a restaurant, yet made at home and ideally better. Plus, my family has been enjoying recipes with steak more lately, so I’m having fun playing around with new ideas!
This recipe is honestly very easy, steak with broccoli and ginger in a great sauce.
Simply add coconut rice, creamy spicy mayo, and a fresh cucumber salad. We think it’s just delish!
here are the details
Because we’re cooking steak, this cooks even quicker than our usual sheet pan dinners. Toss the steak with flour or arrowroot powder if you’re gluten-free. Then, black pepper and a drizzle of oil. Then add the ginger.
On the other side of the pan, toss the broccoli with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Arrange everything in one layer. Make sure to not overcrowd the pan. The idea is that when you transfer the pan to the oven, you’ll cook the steak at a higher temperature and get it crispy.
While everything is cooking, mix the sauce. Tamari, maple syrup or honey, chili paste (I love to use Gochujang). Then add garlic, some of that ginger juice from the pickled ginger jar, and a light drizzle of toasted sesame oil.
Grab the sheet pan from the oven, if the broccoli is cooked, pull it off the pan. Then, add the sauce. Switch the oven over to broil and broil the steak until it’s caramelized (watch carefully).
Then toss up the cucumber salad. Just some Persian cucumbers, green onions, and chili flakes. So simple, but so fresh.
Serve the steak, and vegetables over top of the rice.
Finish this all up with fresh green onions, and if you’d like, a spicy, creamy mayo sauce! It’s our absolute favorite.
If you took the broccoli off the pan, add it back now. Toss both the steak and the broccoli with the sauce. Now get that rice that you hopefully already cooked up. Serve the steak, broccoli, and salad over top of the rice.
Finish this all up with fresh green onions, and if you’d like, a spicy, creamy mayo sauce! It’s our absolute favorite.

Do you make spicy mayo?
Hi Maryann,
You can make it homemade or just use store bought, either one is great:) Please let me know if you give this recipe a try! xT
Only had fresh ginger, so I did a quick pickle, maybe 20 minutes, of rice vinegar heated with some sugar and salt. The way the spice from the sauce clung to those pieces of ginger was absolutely incredible. My kiddos helped make the sauce, loved it, and already asked to have it again. I’m sure regular onions would work fine in a pinch, but the shallots are definitely the better choice.
Hey Jesse,
Awesome! So glad to hear that this recipe turned out well for you, thanks a bunch for trying it out! xT
This recipe was a huge hit in our house. Fantastic flavors. The only change I made was I added a little rice vinegar to the cucumbers for acidity. I think it really compliments the flavor profile.

Stupid ? Are you putting the pickled ginger in the oven with the steak and baking the ginger too? I was confused when reading it. Been excited to try this!
