For Serving:

Instructions
In a shallow dish, whisk together all the ingredients for the marinade. Toss the meat with the marinade, make sure it’s all coated. Allow the meat to marinade 10 - 15 minutes while you prep the rest of the recipe, or refrigerate and marinate up to 8 hours (or overnight).
Preheat the oven to 425ºF.
In a small bowl, mix together the sauce. On a large rimmed sheet pan, add the broccoli, pour over the sauce and toss to mix and coat well. Arrange the broccoli in a single layer on the sheet pan.
Using tongs, add the marinated beef to pan with broccoli. Leave room between everything, do not crowd the meat or the broccoli, use two sheet pans, if needed. You don’t want to steam the food.
Place on the tray in the oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, until the steak is done to your liking and broccoli is just tender.
If you wish to brown everything up a little bit more, give the pan 2 minutes under the broiler, on high, until the steak and broccoli begins to lightly char.
Remove the pan from the oven. Add scallions and sesame seeds, red pepper flakes, if you’d like. Serve immediately right from the pan over bowls of cauliflower rice (or regular rice)
Optional Step: If you'd like to thicken the sauce from the pan further, once the meal is done cooking drain the sauce from the sheet pan into a small pot ( you can also add the remaining marinade, but see above notes) and bring to a rolling boil. Cook the sauce for 5 to7 minutes until it reaches the desired consistency, then pour it back over the beef and broccoli just before serving.
Notes
Recipe Notes: You can add more broccoli, up to 6 cups, if you’d like, but I would suggest cooking this on two large sheet pans, so you don’t crowd the pans.Try adding 1 cup shiitake mushrooms to the broccoli for a fun variations. Leave out sesame oil, sesame seeds and red pepper flakes for AIP.Leave out garlic for low FODMAP See above notes for making this on the stove top
