20 - 1 tablespoon soy sauce or tamari

# Directions:

01 - Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or foil.
02 - Combine steak with 1 tablespoon olive oil, kosher salt, black pepper, and garlic powder in a bowl. Set aside to marinate briefly.
03 - In a separate large bowl, toss all vegetables with 2 tablespoons olive oil, dried Italian herbs, smoked paprika, and salt and pepper to taste.
04 - Spread seasoned vegetables evenly across the prepared sheet pan. Position steak on top of the vegetables.
05 - Roast in the preheated oven for 15 to 18 minutes for medium-rare 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 heat to low, cover, and simmer 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, then 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.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • Everything cooks on one pan, which means you get to skip the mountain of dishes and actually enjoy your meal.
  • The steak gets just the right crust while the vegetables soak up all those savory drippings underneath.
  • It's flexible enough to work with whatever vegetables you have on hand or whatever protein speaks to you that week.
02 -
  • Cutting the steak against the grain makes all the difference in texture, and I didn't realize how much until I made the mistake of slicing the wrong direction and ended up with chewy bites that just didn't work.
  • The vegetables need that high heat and single layer arrangement, because if you crowd the pan or use low heat, you'll end up with steamed vegetables instead of caramelized ones, and that changes everything about how the dish tastes.
03 -
  • If your sheet pan has hot spots, rotate it halfway through cooking so you get even caramelization on all the vegetables.
  • A meat thermometer is your friend here, taking the guesswork out of doneness and preventing overcooked steak.
