Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz flank steak or sirloin, trimmed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (extra virgin preferred)
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 cups broccoli florets, washed and dried
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup cooked quinoa or brown rice
  • 2 tablespoons tahini
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup or honey
  • Water to thin dressing, as needed
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional toppings: fresh parsley (chopped), toasted sesame seeds, avocado slices

Instructions

  1. Pat the steak dry with paper towels. Rub with olive oil, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper on both sides. Let sit at room temperature for 10 minutes.
  2. Cook quinoa or brown rice according to package instructions (quinoa about 15 minutes, brown rice about 40 minutes). Use broth instead of water for extra flavor if desired.
  3. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss broccoli florets with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Spread on a parchment-lined baking sheet and roast for 18-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until tender and caramelized.
  4. Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until very hot (3-4 minutes). Sear steak for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare (130°F/54°C internal temperature). Let rest for 5-10 minutes, then slice thinly against the grain.
  5. Whisk together tahini, lemon juice, maple syrup, and salt in a small bowl. Add water a teaspoon at a time until smooth and pourable.
  6. Assemble bowls by layering cooked quinoa or rice, arranging sliced steak on one side and roasted broccoli on the other. Drizzle with tahini dressing and sprinkle optional toppings if desired.
  7. Add a light squeeze of fresh lemon juice over the bowl before serving. Serve immediately while warm.

Notes

Rest steak after cooking to retain juices. Flip broccoli halfway through roasting for even caramelization. If dressing is too thick, add water instead of oil for a lighter finish. Use a meat thermometer for perfect steak doneness.
