We wanted to recreate the flavors of a sizzling stir fry without all the tossing and hard work.

So we turned on the broiler and spread a mixture of broccoli, thinly sliced beef, and sweet onion onto a baking sheet. Make sure the beef is on the top layer and keep an eye on the sheet—you’re looking for browned bits and even a little char on the broccoli. Cook, relax, and enjoy!

What you’ll need:
¾ cup jasmine rice
12 oz broccoli
1 large sweet onion
12 oz sirloin beef strips
1 large clove garlic
1 oz fresh ginger
¼ cup tamari
2 Tbsp mirin
1 Tbsp toasted sesame oil
1 tsp toasted sesame seeds
coarse salt

Equipment:
small saucepan
grater or microplane
rimmed baking sheet

Recipe steps:

  1. Cook rice
    Preheat broiler with rack 4 inches from heating element. Rinse rice in a fine-mesh sieve until water runs clear. In a small saucepan, bring rice, 1¼ cups water, and a pinch of salt to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook covered, until rice is tender and water is absorbed, about 15 minutes.

  2. Prep ingredients
    Cut broccoli into thin florets. Peel, halve, and slice onion.

  3. Make marinade
    Peel garlic and ginger and finely grate (or finely chop) over a large bowl. Add tamari, mirin, sesame oil, and 2 tablespoons water and whisk to combine.

  4. Coat ingredients
    Add broccoli, onion, and beef to marinade and stir to evenly coat. Spread mixture on a rimmed baking sheet. Make sure beef is on the top layer so it gets crispy (otherwise it will steam).

  5. Broil
    Broil, rotating sheet halfway through, until beef is sizzling and well browned in places and broccoli is charred and crisp-tender, 7–9 minutes.

  6. Serve
    Serve beef mixture over rice, drizzle with sheet juices to taste, and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
