19 - Lemon wedges
20 - 1 tablespoon soy sauce or tamari for drizzling

# How to Make It:

01 - Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or foil.
02 - In a bowl, toss steak with 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Set aside to marinate briefly.
03 - In a separate large bowl, toss all vegetables with 2 tablespoons olive oil, Italian herbs, smoked paprika, and salt and pepper to taste.
04 - Arrange vegetables evenly on prepared sheet pan. Place steak on top of vegetables.
05 - Roast in preheated oven for 15 to 18 minutes for medium-rare, or until desired doneness is reached. For extra caramelization, broil for an additional 2 to 3 minutes if desired.
06 - While steak and vegetables roast, rinse rice under cold water. In a medium saucepan, combine rice, water or broth, and salt. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook for 12 to 15 minutes until tender. Remove from heat and let stand covered for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
07 - Transfer steak to a cutting board and rest for 5 minutes. Slice thinly against the grain.
08 - Divide rice among bowls. Top with roasted vegetables and sliced steak. Drizzle with soy sauce or tamari if desired. Garnish with fresh herbs and lemon wedges.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • Everything finishes at exactly the same time, so you're not juggling three different burners like a circus act.
  • The steak gets this incredible caramelized crust while the vegetables soften and sweeten underneath, creating this natural flavor layering that tastes intentional.
  • Cleanup is genuinely just one pan, which means you can actually enjoy your dinner instead of staring at a sink full of dishes.
02 -
  • Don't skip the resting period for the steak, I learned this the hard way when my first attempt bled juice everywhere instead of staying juicy and tender inside.
  • The vegetables release moisture while cooking, which is exactly what you want because it creates a light glaze that seasoned everything on the pan.
  • If your oven runs hot, start checking the steak at 13 minutes because the difference between medium-rare and overcooked is literally two minutes.
03 -
  • Pat your steak completely dry before seasoning it, wet meat won't sear properly no matter how hot your pan gets.
  • If your steak is thicker than an inch, use an instant-read thermometer to hit exactly 130 to 135°F for medium-rare instead of guessing.
