Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables
- 1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
Beef
- 1 pound beef sirloin, cut into strips
Seasonings and Oils
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to get it ready for roasting the Brussels sprouts, ensuring they cook evenly and develop a delicious caramelized flavor.
- Toss Brussels Sprouts: In a large bowl, toss the halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, and black pepper until they are evenly coated, which will help them roast to a crispy, flavorful finish.
- Prepare for Roasting: Spread the coated Brussels sprouts in a single layer on a baking sheet to allow proper air circulation and even roasting.
- Roast Brussels Sprouts: Roast the Brussels sprouts in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure they brown evenly on all sides and become tender.
- Cook Beef Strips: While the Brussels sprouts roast, heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef sirloin strips and sauté until nicely browned and cooked through, approximately 5-7 minutes, which seals in the juices and creates a savory crust.
- Add Flavorings to Beef: Add minced garlic and balsamic vinegar to the skillet with the cooked beef. Stir and cook together for another 2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and create a rich, tangy sauce.
- Combine and Serve: Once the Brussels sprouts are roasted and the beef mixture is ready, combine them gently in the skillet or a serving bowl. Toss to mix flavors and serve immediately while hot for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- Trim Brussels sprouts by cutting off the stem end and removing any yellow or damaged outer leaves.
- If you prefer a milder garlic flavor, sauté the garlic for just 1 minute before adding balsamic vinegar.
- Serve this dish with a side of mashed potatoes or quinoa for a more filling meal.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- For extra crispiness, use convection bake if your oven has the option.
