How To Make Balsamic Glazed Steak Tips and Veggies Sheet Pan Dinner
This recipe is all about simplicity and big flavor—marinating the steak tips, tossing the veggies, arranging everything on one tray, and letting your oven do the work. In under 30 minutes, you’ll have caramelized edges, juicy centers, and perfectly roasted vegetables, all coated in that irresistible balsamic glaze.
1. Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a large sheet pan with foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup and even roasting.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, dried rosemary, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil until smooth and well combined.
3. Place the steak tips in a shallow dish, pour half of the balsamic mixture over them, and let them marinate for at least 15 minutes so they absorb that tangy-sweet flavor.
4. In a separate bowl, toss the sliced bell peppers, red onion wedges, zucchini, and mushroom halves with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, plus salt and black pepper to taste.
5. Arrange the marinated steak tips on one side of the prepared sheet pan and spread the seasoned vegetables evenly on the other side.
6. Drizzle the reserved balsamic mixture over both the steak tips and vegetables for an extra layer of flavor.
7. Roast in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring the vegetables halfway through, until the steak reaches your desired doneness and the veggies are tender and slightly charred.
8. Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving to seal in the juices and ensure maximum tenderness.
Serving Suggestions
This sheet pan dinner is a meal all on its own, but here are some fun ways to elevate the experience and make it shine:

Frequently Asked Questions
Curious cooks often ask these quick questions about our balsamic-glazed sheet pan dinner:
- Q: How long does it take to prepare and cook this sheet pan dinner from start to finish?
A: It takes about 10 minutes to chop and mix ingredients, at least 15 minutes to marinate the steak tips, 15 to 20 minutes to roast everything in the oven, plus a 5-minute rest at the end—roughly 45 to 50 minutes total.
- Q: Can I prepare the balsamic marinade ahead of time?
A: Yes. You can whisk together the balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, rosemary, and olive oil up to 24 hours in advance. Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator and pour it over the steak when you’re ready to marinate.
- Q: How do I know when the steak tips are cooked to my desired doneness?
A: Use an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of a larger piece. For medium-rare aim for 130°F to 135°F, medium for 140°F to 145°F, and well-done for 150°F to 155°F. Remember the steak will rise a few degrees while resting.
- Q: Can I swap the vegetables for others I have on hand?
A: Absolutely. Broccoli florets, asparagus, cauliflower, or cherry tomatoes work well. Adjust the slicing thickness so all veggies finish roasting in about the same 15 to 20 minutes.
- Q: What’s the best way to get extra caramelization on the steak and veggies?
A: After roasting for 15 to 20 minutes, switch your oven to broil on high and broil for 1 to 2 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning. This will give a lovely char and deepen the glaze’s flavor.
- Q: How should I store and reheat leftovers?
A: Transfer leftovers to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Reheat in a 350°F oven for 8 to 10 minutes or in a skillet over medium heat until heated through. Stir occasionally to distribute the glaze evenly.
- Q: Can I make this recipe gluten-free?
A: Yes. Simply replace the soy sauce with tamari or another gluten-free soy substitute. Everything else in the recipe is naturally gluten-free.
- Q: What should I do if my balsamic glaze seems too thin?
A: Pour the leftover marinade into a small saucepan, bring to a simmer over medium heat, and reduce for 3 to 5 minutes until it thickens slightly. Drizzle it over the finished steak and veggies for extra flavor.
