2. Hot Preheated Pan: Place your sheet pan in the oven while it preheats for an initial sear on the beef.
3. Space Matters: Avoid overcrowding to achieve proper caramelization and prevent steaming.
4. Precise Timing: Watch carefully during the final broiling stage to achieve perfect charring without overcooking.
5. Rest and Serve: Let the dish rest for 2-3 minutes after cooking to allow the juices to redistribute.

Transform your kitchen into an Asian cuisine haven with this straightforward yet impressive dish.

Ingredients:

• 1 pound flank steak, sliced against the grain into thin strips
• 4-5 cups broccoli florets, cut into bite-size pieces
• 2 tablespoons avocado oil, divided
• 4 teaspoons arrowroot powder or cornstarch, divided
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• ½ cup low-sodium soy sauce
• ¼ cup beef broth
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon ground ginger
• ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
• Sliced green onions and sesame seeds for garnish

Directions:

1. Prepare Your Marinade: In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, broth, honey, vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, red pepper flakes, 2 teaspoons arrowroot powder, ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Pour ⅓ of the marinade over the sliced steak in a bowl and toss to coat. Let marinate for 20-30 minutes.
2. Set Up Your Oven: Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a large sheet pan with foil and grease lightly with oil.
3. Prepare the Broccoli: In a large bowl, toss the broccoli with 1 tablespoon oil, remaining ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Spread the broccoli in an even layer on the prepared pan.
4. Arrange the Beef: Remove the steak from the marinade, shaking off excess. Toss with the remaining 2 teaspoons of arrowroot powder. Arrange the steak strips on top of the broccoli in a single layer.
5. Initial Bake: Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the steak is cooked and broccoli is crisp-tender.
6. Prepare the Sauce: Meanwhile, pour the remaining marinade into a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook, stirring often, until thickened, about 3-5 minutes.
7. Final Touches: Remove the pan from the oven and drizzle the thickened sauce evenly over the steak and broccoli. Toss to coat.
8. Broil to Perfection: Switch the oven to broil and return the pan to the top rack. Broil for 2-3 minutes, until the edges of the beef and broccoli are lightly charred.
9. Garnish and Serve: Top with sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving.

For best results, consume within 2 days of preparation to enjoy the optimal flavor and texture of both the beef and broccoli.
