Ingredients for Your Keto Steak and Veggies Sheet Pan Dinner
Alright, let’s talk ingredients! This recipe is wonderfully straightforward, and the beauty is you likely have most of this stuff on hand. You’ll need about a pound and a half of sirloin steak, cut into nice, bite-sized cubes – think about 1-inch pieces so they cook evenly with the veggies. Then, grab about a pound of broccoli florets, a red bell pepper and a yellow bell pepper, both chopped up, and one red onion, cut into wedges. For the dressing? Just three tablespoons of olive oil and some simple seasonings: one teaspoon each of garlic powder and onion powder, plus half a teaspoon of salt and a quarter teaspoon of black pepper. Trust me, the pink salt makes a difference, and I have some recipes here and tips here if you’re curious!
Essential Equipment for Your Sheet Pan Dinner
Okay, so you don’t need a fancy kitchen for this one! You’ll definitely want a large baking sheet – make sure it’s big enough so everything can spread out in a single layer. A large mixing bowl is also key for tossing everything together easily. And of course, grab your trusty measuring cups and spoons for getting those seasonings just right!
Step-by-Step Guide to Making Your Keto Steak and Veggies Sheet Pan Dinner
Follow these simple steps to get this amazing dinner on your table in no time. It’s so straightforward, you’ll wonder why you didn’t try it sooner! These are some of my favorite easy recipes and dinner recipes because they just make life simpler.
Preheating and Veggie Prep
First things first, get that oven cranked up to 400°F (200°C). While it’s heating, grab a big mixing bowl. Toss in your prepared broccoli florets, chopped bell peppers, and red onion wedges. Drizzle them with about two tablespoons of olive oil and sprinkle on your garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Give it all a good toss so everything is nicely coated. Then, spread these seasoned veggies out on your large baking sheet in a single layer. Seriously, try to keep them from piling up – it helps them roast instead of steam!
Preparing and Adding the Steak
Now for the star of the show – the steak! Use that same big bowl (no need to wash it!) and add your cubed sirloin. Drizzle it with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and give it a quick toss just to coat. Don’t over-season the steak separately; it’ll pick up plenty of flavor from the veggies and the cooking juices. Carefully add these steak cubes to the baking sheet alongside the vegetables. Once again, make sure everything is spread out in a single layer. We want everything to cook evenly and get a nice little char!
Baking and Checking for Doneness
Pop that loaded baking sheet into your preheated oven. Bake it for about 15 to 20 minutes. Keep an eye on it through the oven door! The veggies should be perfectly tender but still have a little bite, and the steak needs to be cooked to your liking. I usually go for medium-rare, which takes about 18 minutes for me. If you like your steak more well-done, just let it bake a few minutes longer. You can also check a piece of broccoli to make sure it’s tender-crisp. Once it’s all done, carefully take the pan out and serve it up right away!
Tips for the Perfect Keto Steak and Veggies Sheet Pan Dinner
You know, the little things can really make a difference with sheet pan dinners. My absolute top tip? Don’t overcrowd that pan! If you pile everything on, you’ll end up steaming your veggies instead of roasting them, and nobody wants soggy broccoli. Also, invest in a good quality baking sheet; a thicker one heats more evenly. I’ve learned that cutting the steak into uniform 1-inch cubes is super important so it cooks at the same rate as the veggies. And don’t be afraid to play with seasonings! Sometimes I throw in a pinch of smoked paprika or some herbs for a little something extra. It really makes it *your* own!
Ingredient Substitutions and Variations
This recipe is fantastic as is, but you know me, I love a good tweak! If you’re not a fan of broccoli, no worries! Try swapping it for asparagus spears or some zucchini rounds. They cook up beautifully on a sheet pan. And steak? While sirloin is great here, a nice flank steak or even some chicken breast pieces would work wonderfully. Just adjust the cooking time a bit. I also love throwing in different spices, like adding some Italian seasoning or a pinch of chili powder for a little kick. Oh, and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice right before serving? Divine! It really brightens everything up. If you like a ratatouille vibe, you could even try adding eggplant! I have a great ratatouille recipe you can get ideas from.
Serving Suggestions for Your Sheet Pan Dinner
This Keto Steak and Veggies Sheet Pan Dinner is pretty much a complete meal on its own, right? But if you’re feeling a little extra or want to jazz things up, a few things work wonders. A dollop of creamy avocado or even some sugar-free ranch for dipping is absolutely delicious. You could also whip up a quick, simple side salad with a light vinaigrette if you want some fresh greens. Honestly, though, just a sprinkle of fresh parsley or chives right before serving makes it look and taste super fancy. It’s all about making it your own!
Storage and Reheating Instructions
Leftovers are your best friend with this dish! Once it cools down a bit, pop the steak and veggies into an airtight container. They’ll stay good in the fridge for about 3-4 days. When you’re ready to reheat, I find the best way is to pop it back on a baking sheet in a moderate oven (around 350°F or 175°C) for about 10 minutes. This helps keep the veggies from getting soggy and warms the steak perfectly. A quick zap in the microwave works too, but go for the oven if you can!
Nutritional Information
Just a heads-up, the nutritional info here is an estimate, because, you know, ingredients can vary! But for one serving of this delicious Keto Steak and Veggies Sheet Pan Dinner, you’re looking at around 450 calories. It’s got about 25g of fat, a whopping 40g of protein, and roughly 15g of carbohydrates, with about 5g of that being fiber. Great news for keeping things keto!

Frequently Asked Questions
Got questions about this amazing sheet pan dinner? I’ve got you covered! It’s so much easier than trying to recreate something complex like a Taco Bell Enchirito.
Can I use a different cut of steak?
Absolutely! While sirloin is fantastic, flank steak or even skirt steak cut into strips will work beautifully. Just try to keep the pieces similar in size for even cooking. My husband loves a good flank steak version!
How do I prevent the vegetables from burning?
Keep an eye on things! Don’t pack the pan too tightly, and you can always move the pan to a lower rack if the tops are browning too quickly. Checking them around the 15-minute mark is a good idea. It’s way easier than dealing with burnt bits, like trying to follow a complicated Spam Musubi recipewhen you’re tired!
Can this be made ahead of time?
You can totally prep the veggies and steak ahead of time and store them separately in the fridge. Then, just toss and bake when you’re ready to eat! The leftovers reheat pretty well too, especially if you use the oven method I mentioned.
