03 - 1 teaspoon kosher salt
04 - ½ teaspoon black pepper
05 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder

12 - 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs
13 - ½ teaspoon smoked paprika

16 - 3 cups water or low-sodium broth
17 - ½ teaspoon salt

→ Garnishes

18 - Fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped
19 - Lemon wedges
20 - 1 tablespoon soy sauce or tamari

# 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 the prepared sheet pan. Place steak on top of the vegetables.
05 - Roast in preheated oven for 15–18 minutes for medium-rare steak, or until desired doneness. For extra caramelization, broil for an additional 2–3 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 12–15 minutes until tender. Remove from heat and let stand covered for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
07 - Transfer steak to a cutting board, rest for 5 minutes, then 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 Suggestions:

01 -
  • One pan means you actually have time to set the table instead of standing at the sink immediately after dinner.
  • The steak stays tender and juicy while the vegetables caramelize into something almost addictive.
  • It looks restaurant-quality but tastes like home, which is honestly the dream.
02 -
  • Slicing the steak against the grain is non-negotiable—cut parallel to the grain and you'll end up with chewy pieces that fight back when you bite them.
  • Don't skip the 5-minute rest for the steak; it's what transforms it from good to actually juicy and tender.
  • If your vegetables start looking dry during roasting, give the pan a gentle shake halfway through so everything cooks evenly.
03 -
  • Pat your steak dry before seasoning it so it develops a proper sear instead of steaming on the pan.
  • Use broth instead of water for the rice if you want an extra layer of flavor that makes people wonder what your secret is.
