Beef and broccoli is one of my favorite Chinese takeout dishes. I’ve made a few variations of it at home, like my classic beef and broccoli recipe and beef and broccoli ramen stir fry. This sheet pan beef & broccoli is arguably even easier than those two and packs so much flavor with minimal effort – my whole family loves it and yours will, too!

Tips & Variations

  • Slice across the grain. For tender, juicy pieces of steak, be sure to slice the sirloin steak across the grain.
  • Can I use other types of steak? I’ve only ever made this with thinly sliced sirloin. However, I think that NY strip and flank steak would also work.
  • Marinate longer. While the steak can be marinated for as little as 20 minutes, I recommend at least an hour for the best flavor. Overnight is ideal if time permits.
  • Avoid overcooking. The steak cooks very quickly since it’s sliced so thin. 8 minutes is usually plenty of time and more can lead to dry, tough steak. That’s why I bake the broccoli first, since it takes more time.
  • Try other veggies. Feel free to add other veggies to this beef & broccoli sheet pan dinner, like cauliflower, mushrooms, or bell peppers.

Serving Suggestions

To keep dinner super simple, I typically serve this sheet pan beef & broccoli with a side of steamed white rice. If I have more time or am craving more Chinese takeout, I might add some fried rice or egg rolls to the menu.

How To Store Leftovers

  • Fridge. Store leftover sheet pan beef & broccoli in an airtight container in the fridge. It’ll stay good for 3-4 days.
  • Freezer. Allow to cool completely, then store in an airtight freezer-safe container. It will keep up to 2 months. Let thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating. Note that the broccoli and onions can get mushy once thawed.
  • Reheat. Reheat leftovers in the microwave or on the stovetop. Take care to not overheat them and dry out the beef.

    Have made it several times with beef. Tried chicken breast cubes tonight. Good, but not as flavorful as beef.

    Directions are straight forward & I did not add the ginger but did substitute with turmeric & cardamom. I grated red onion as I did not have vidalia onions or toasted sesame seeds. The recipe was very good as I had some of the beef and broccoli for lunch. I will make the recipe again only with toasted sesame seeds before serving. Thanks,Amy for a winner!
