# Ingredient List:

01 - 1 lb sirloin or flank steak
02 - 1 tablespoon olive oil
03 - 1 teaspoon kosher salt
04 - ½ teaspoon black pepper
05 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder

→ Vegetables

06 - 1 red bell pepper, sliced
07 - 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
08 - 1 small red onion, sliced
09 - 1 medium zucchini, sliced into half-moons
10 - 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
11 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
12 - 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs
13 - ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
14 - Salt and pepper to taste

→ Rice

15 - 1½ cups uncooked jasmine or basmati rice
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 for drizzling

# Directions:

01 - Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or foil.
02 - In a bowl, toss the 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 and place steak on top.
05 - Roast in preheated oven for 15-18 minutes for medium-rare steak or until desired doneness is reached. 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 and rest for 5 minutes, then 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 Advice:

01 -
  • Everything cooks together so you spend more time relaxing and less time scrubbing pans afterward.
  • The steak stays juicy while the vegetables get caramelized and sweet from roasting in the same heat.
  • It looks like you spent hours on it but the whole thing comes together in under an hour.
  • You can swap out any vegetable or protein and it still turns out delicious every single time.
02 -
  • Do not overcrowd the sheet pan or the vegetables will steam instead of roast and you will miss out on those crispy caramelized edges.
  • Always slice steak against the grain or it will be chewy no matter how perfectly you cooked it.
  • Let the steak rest after roasting or all the juices will run out onto the cutting board instead of staying inside the meat.
  • If your steak is thicker than an inch, add a few extra minutes to the roasting time and check the internal temperature with a thermometer.
03 -
  • Use parchment paper instead of foil if you want even crispier vegetables, as it allows better air circulation around the food.
  • Season the steak generously because some of the seasoning will fall off onto the vegetables and flavor them too.
  • If your oven runs hot, start checking the steak at 12 minutes so you do not accidentally overcook it.
  • Save any leftover steak juices from the cutting board and drizzle them over the bowls for extra richness.
