This Sheet Pan Beef & Broccoli is perfect for busy weeknights, with a short ingredient list, incredible flavor, and minimal dishes. Tender slices of sirloin steak are marinated in a mixture of soy sauce, brown sugar, and rice vinegar for that classic savory flavor then baked with broccoli and onions. It’s a great alternative to takeout and ready in just 30 minutes!
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.
Sheet Pan Beef & Broccoli
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon ginger , minced (or 2 teaspoons ginger paste)
- 2 cloves garlic , minced
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
- salt and pepper , to taste
- 1 pound sirloin , sliced thin across the grain
- 4 cups fresh broccoli florets
- 1 small sweet Vidalia onion , cut into 6 wedges, separated
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- pinch of crushed red pepper flakes
- 2 scallions , diced, for serving
- toasted sesame seeds , for serving, optional
- cooked white rice , for serving
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons soy sauce, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon minced ginger, 2 cloves mined garlic, 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil, and a bit of salt and pepper.
- Add 1 pound thinly sliced sirloin to the marinade and toss to coat well. Cover and chill in the fridge for at least 20 minutes (1 hour is better, overnight is ideal.)
- Let beef come to room temperature for about 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
- Coat a large rimmed 15×10 baking sheet with nonstick spray.
- Scatter 4 cups broccoli florets and onion wedges on the baking sheet. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons vegetable oil and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and a pinch of red pepper flakes. Toss to coat.
- Place pan in the oven and roast for about 8 minutes.
- Push the vegetables to one side of the pan. Remove sirloin from the marinade, letting excess drip off, then arrange on the other side of the pan (try to have them in a single layer as best as possible.)
- Place pan back in the oven and roast for another 8 minutes or until steak is slightly charred and vegetables are crisp-tender.
- Sprinkle with diced scallions and a bit of toasted sesame seeds, toss to coat.

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
