20 - 1 tablespoon soy sauce or tamari for drizzling

# Directions:

01 - Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or foil.
02 - In a bowl, combine steak with 1 tablespoon olive oil, kosher salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Allow to marinate briefly.
03 - In a separate large bowl, toss all vegetables with 2 tablespoons olive oil, Italian herbs, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
04 - Spread seasoned vegetables evenly across prepared sheet pan. Position steak on top of vegetables.
05 - Roast in preheated oven for 15–18 minutes for medium-rare steak, adjusting time based on desired doneness. For enhanced caramelization, broil for an additional 2–3 minutes if preferred.
06 - While steak and vegetables roast, rinse rice under cold water. In a medium saucepan, combine rice, water or broth, and salt. Bring to boil, reduce to simmer, cover, and cook 12–15 minutes until tender. Remove from heat, keep covered for 5 minutes, then fluff with fork.
07 - Transfer cooked steak to cutting board and rest for 5 minutes. Slice thinly against the grain.
08 - Divide rice among serving 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 -
  • One pan means one cleanup session, which might be the best part of cooking after a long day.
  • The steak stays tender while the vegetables get perfectly charred, creating this textural contrast that keeps you coming back for another bite.
  • It's genuinely impressive enough to serve guests, yet simple enough that you won't feel stressed while cooking.
02 -
  • Don't skip letting the steak rest after cooking, as cutting into it immediately will release all the flavorful juices and leave the meat dry.
  • Slicing the steak against the grain is non-negotiable if you want tenderness, so take a moment to identify which direction the fibers run before you start cutting.
  • The vegetables will release moisture as they roast, which is why placing the steak on top of them works so well instead of having everything sit in liquid.
03 -
  • If your steak is thicker than an inch, let it come to room temperature before cooking so the inside cooks evenly without the outside burning.
  • Pat the steak dry with paper towels before seasoning because surface moisture prevents proper browning and crust development.
  • Buy pre-sliced vegetables from the store if time is tight, and don't feel bad about it because getting food on the table efficiently matters more than perfectionism.
