Ingredients
  

  • 1.5–2 pounds steak (sirloin, ribeye, or New York strip), cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 6 cups broccoli florets (fresh or thawed frozen), bite-sized
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 5–6 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for serving
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning or dried oregano
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional, brightens the sauce)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Method
 

  1. Prep the steak: Pat the steak cubes dry with paper towels. This helps you get a good sear. Toss with 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Let it sit at room temp for 10–15 minutes.
  2. Heat the oven: Preheat to 425°F (220°C). Line a sheet pan with parchment for easy cleanup.
  3. Roast the broccoli: Toss broccoli with 1 tablespoon olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Spread on the sheet pan. Roast for 15–18 minutes, until tender with crispy edges.
  4. Sear the steak: While broccoli roasts, heat a large skillet over medium-high. Add 1 tablespoon butter. When hot and foaming, add half the steak in a single layer. Sear 2–3 minutes per side until browned and medium-rare to medium. Remove to a plate and repeat with remaining steak and another 1 tablespoon butter.
  5. Make the garlic-Parmesan sauce: Lower heat to medium. Add remaining 2 tablespoons butter to the skillet. Stir in minced garlic and red pepper flakes. Cook 30–60 seconds until fragrant, not browned. Turn off the heat. Stir in lemon juice (if using) and Parmesan until it melts into a glossy sauce. If too thick, splash in a tablespoon of water.
  6. Toss it together: Return the steak and any juices to the pan. Add the roasted broccoli. Toss gently to coat everything in the sauce. Taste and adjust salt and pepper.
  7. Finish and portion: Sprinkle with parsley and a little extra Parmesan. Divide into 4 meal prep containers, aiming for even amounts of steak and broccoli in each.
