Chef's pro tip

Before you start seasoning, give your steak a quick pat-down with a paper towel. This helps remove extra moisture and sets the stage for a beautiful sear, creating that perfect crust we all love. Once it's cooked to your liking, remember to let it rest for a bit. This little breather makes a juicy steak, enhancing the flavor of your dish.

How to make it healthier?

  • Cut back on the sea salt for the steak and broccoli to reduce sodium intake.
  • Trim excess visible fat from the steak before cooking to reduce the overall fat content.
  • Instead of rubbing the steak with olive oil, use a cooking spray to coat it lightly.

Time-saving tips

  • To save time on trimming the broccoli, buy pre-trimmed broccoli from the grocery store.
  • Purchase pre-grated Parmesan cheese and save some preparation time.

What can I prepare ahead of time?

  • Rub the steak with olive oil and season it with salt and pepper ahead of time, preferably before a few hours of cooking.
  • Trim the woody ends of the broccoli ahead of time. Place them in an airtight container and store them in the refrigerator until you're ready to cook.

Storage and reheating instructions

Storage instructions

  • Allow the steak and roasted broccoli to cool down to room temperature.
  • Place the leftover steak and broccoli into individual airtight containers. They will remain fresh and tender in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.

Reheating best practices

  • Microwave: Place the leftovers in a microwave-safe dish and cover with a lid or damp paper towel. Reheat in short intervals, using medium power or a lower power setting to prevent overheating.
  • Oven: Preheat the oven to a low temperature, around 250°F (120°C). Place the leftovers on a baking sheet and cover loosely with aluminum foil. Heat in the oven for 10-15 minutes or until warmed to your liking.
  • Stove: Heat a non-stick skillet or cast iron pan over medium heat. Place the steak in the pan and cook for a few minutes on each side until warmed through. You can add a small amount of oil or butter to the pan to prevent sticking and enhance flavor.
