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

13 - ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
14 - Salt and pepper to taste

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

# How To Make:

01 - Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or foil.
02 - Toss steak with 1 tablespoon olive oil, kosher salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Set aside to marinate briefly.
03 - In a large bowl, toss all vegetables with 2 tablespoons olive oil, Italian herbs, smoked paprika, and salt and pepper.
04 - Distribute seasoned vegetables evenly on the prepared sheet pan. Place the steak on top of the vegetables.
05 - Roast in the preheated oven for 15 to 18 minutes for medium-rare steak, or until desired doneness. For additional caramelization, broil for 2 to 3 minutes if desired.
06 - 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 cooked 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.

# Top Suggestions:

01 -
  • Everything happens on one pan: No stacking dishes in the sink, just one beautiful sheet pan that did all the heavy lifting.
  • The steak comes out tender and juicy: Short roasting time means it stays medium-rare in the center while the vegetables caramelize around it.
  • It feels fancy but tastes like home: Honestly, people are always impressed until they realize how simple it actually is.
02 -
  • Resting the steak is non-negotiable: I learned this the hard way when I sliced straight into a perfectly cooked steak and watched all the juices run out onto the cutting board; five minutes makes the difference between dry and succulent.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan or the vegetables steam instead of roast: Give them space to actually touch the hot surface, or you'll end up with soft vegetables instead of caramelized ones with crispy edges.
03 -
  • Pat the steak dry before seasoning: Moisture is the enemy of browning, so a paper towel to dry the surface means better caramelization and more flavor.
  • Invest in an instant-read thermometer: Medium-rare lands at about 130-135°F internally, which takes the guesswork out entirely and guarantees perfect results every time.
