Grilled Beef with Broccoli

Instructions

1. 1

   Combine soy sauce, minced garlic, ginger, balsamic vinegar, honey, and sesame oil in a small bowl to create the glaze. Set aside.

   Tip: Prepare the glaze while you're waiting for the grill to heat up to save time.

2. 2

   Pat the beef steaks dry with paper towels and season both sides generously with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.

   Tip: Dry beef ensures a better sear and crust formation on the grill.

3. 3

   Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 400°F) for 10 minutes until it's hot and the grates are clean.

   Tip: A properly heated grill prevents sticking and creates beautiful grill marks.

4. 4

   Toss broccoli florets with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Place them directly on the grill grates and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lightly charred and tender-crisp.

   Tip: Use a grill basket or skewers threaded through the florets to prevent small pieces from falling through.

5. 5

   Once broccoli is nearly done, place beef steaks on the grill and cook for 5-6 minutes per side for medium-rare, depending on thickness.

   Tip: Avoid moving the steaks too much; let them develop a nice crust for better flavor.

6. 6

   During the last 2 minutes of cooking the beef, brush both sides generously with the prepared glaze.

   Tip: Brushing near the end prevents the glaze from burning.

7. 7

   Remove steaks and broccoli from the grill and transfer to a serving platter.

   Tip: Let beef rest for 3-4 minutes before serving to allow juices to redistribute.

8. 8

   Drizzle any remaining glaze over the plated beef and broccoli, garnish with sesame seeds if desired, and serve immediately.

   Tip: Serve with steamed rice or roasted potatoes to soak up the delicious glaze.
