Ingredients
Included in the Walmart List
- 1.5 lb (650g) sirloin tip steak, sliced against the grain
- 2 broccoli heads, cut into florets (about 18 oz)
- 4 garlic cloves, minced

- 1/4 cup (60ml) beef broth

Ingredient number 1
Excluded from the Walmart List
These are staple ingredients you may already have in your house.
- 3 tbsp butter or ghee
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Fresh cracked black pepper, to taste
- 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes, optional
Steak Marinade
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1 tbsp Sriracha sauce (or any hot chili sauce you like)
Directions
- Combine the ingredients for the marinade (soy sauce, olive oil and hot sauce) in a shallow plate or bowl. Add the steak strips into the marinade and allow to marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to one hour.
- In the meantime, wash and break down the broccoli heads into florets. Blanch the florets into boiling water for 1 or 2 minutes, then rinse with cold water.
- Bring the steak to room temperature and heat oil and one tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat — reserve the juices of the marinade for later. Sear the steak strips in batches for 1-2 minutes each side until edges are crispy and browned, adding extra oil if needed. Remove the steak strips from the skillet and set aside to a plate.
- Using the same skillet, lower the heat to medium. Melt 2 tablespoons butter, then add lemon juice, minced garlic, beef broth, and remaining marinade juices. Bring to a simmer then stir in the fresh parsley and broccoli florets and toss regularly until the sauce a reduced and the broccoli is cooked to your liking.
- Add the steak strips back to the pan to reheat quickly. Serve immediately with thyme, chili flakes, more parsley, and lemon slices. Enjoy!
Additional notes
- If your steak strips are very thin, sear quickly so meat does not dry up
- If you want more sauce, double the ingredients for the marinade
