20 - 1 tablespoon soy sauce or tamari for drizzling

# Step-by-Step Guide:

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 a pinch of salt and pepper.
04 - Arrange vegetables evenly on the prepared sheet pan. Place the steak on top of the vegetables.
05 - Roast in the 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 Advice:

01 -
  • The steak stays juicy while the vegetables get this incredible caramelized sweetness from sharing the same pan.
  • One sheet pan means one cleanup moment instead of a sink full of dishes, which honestly changes how often I actually make dinner.
  • You can have this on the table in 40 minutes flat, making it perfect for weeknights when ambition meets reality.
02 -
  • Slicing the steak against the grain is non-negotiable—even a great cut becomes chewy if you slice the wrong direction, and I know this from experience.
  • Don't skip the resting time; those 5 minutes make the difference between juicy and dry, and the steak will keep cooking slightly from residual heat.
03 -
  • Use a meat thermometer if you're nervous about doneness; pull the steak at 130°F for medium-rare and it'll coast to perfect as it rests.
  • Line your pan with foil or parchment, not just for cleanup but because it prevents sticking and creates little flavor pockets as things roast.
