Cookware

baking sheet pan · chef's knife · citrus juicer (optional) · colander · cutting board · garlic press (optional) · grater (optional) · measuring spoons · mixing bowls · nonstick skillet · oven mitts · tongs · whisk or fork

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F.
  2. Wash the asparagus and mushrooms, trim the asparagus ends, and spread the vegetables on a baking sheet.
  3. Zest and juice the lemon into a medium bowl.
  4. Peel and mince garlic; add it to the bowl with the lemon juice, soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, oregano, salt, and pepper; whisk to combine.
  5. Add the steak to the bowl and coat with the marinade; let it sit awhile to absorb the flavors.
  6. Peel and mince additional garlic and the ginger; sprinkle over the vegetables on the baking sheet.
  7. Drizzle the vegetables with oil and soy sauce, then sprinkle sesame seeds, salt, and pepper; toss to coat and spread in an even layer.
  8. Roast in the oven for about 15 minutes, tossing once, until the vegetables are fork-tender.
  9. Meanwhile, place a skillet over medium-high heat and add a thin layer of oil; sear the steak with the marinade for 2–5 minutes per side, then transfer to a plate and rest 5 minutes.
  10. Thinly slice the steak against the grain.
  11. To serve, divide the roasted vegetables and sliced steak onto plates and enjoy.

Two tips

  • Marinate the steak for up to 2 hours in the fridge to deepen the flavor before cooking.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the fridge; finish with a light squeeze of lemon before serving to brighten the flavors.
