Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables
- 1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
Meat
- 1 pound beef sirloin, cut into strips
Seasonings & Others
- 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 prepare for roasting the Brussels sprouts, ensuring a crispy and caramelized texture.
- Toss Brussels Sprouts: In a large bowl, combine the halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Toss well so each sprout is evenly coated with the seasoning and oil.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the seasoned Brussels sprouts out in a single layer on a baking sheet to ensure even roasting without steaming.
- Roast Brussels Sprouts: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 20 minutes, stirring halfway through cooking to promote uniform browning.
- Cook Beef: While the Brussels sprouts roast, heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef sirloin strips and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5 to 7 minutes.
- Add Garlic and Balsamic: To the browned beef strips, add minced garlic and balsamic vinegar. Stir and cook together for about 2 minutes, allowing the garlic to soften and the vinegar to reduce slightly, coating the beef.
- Combine and Serve: After roasting, combine the Brussels sprouts with the garlic and balsamic beef mixture in the skillet or a serving dish. Toss gently to integrate flavors before serving warm.
Notes
- Be sure not to overcrowd the Brussels sprouts on the baking sheet to encourage even roasting and reduce steaming.
- Use fresh garlic for the best flavor; pre-minced garlic in a jar won’t have the same aroma.
- Adjust balsamic vinegar quantity to taste – a little more adds a richer tang.
- For extra crispness, broil the Brussels sprouts for 1-2 minutes after roasting, watching closely to avoid burning.
- Substitute beef sirloin with chicken or turkey strips for a different protein option.
