# What You'll Need:

→ Steak

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

# How To Make It:

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, kosher 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 - Spread vegetables evenly on the prepared sheet pan. Place the seasoned steak on top of the vegetables.
05 - Roast in the 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. 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 -
  • One pan means one thing to wash, which honestly changes everything on a busy night.
  • The steak stays juicy while the vegetables get those caramelized edges you can't fake.
  • It comes together in under an hour, from raw ingredients to plated dinner.
02 -
  • Let that steak rest after roasting—I learned this the hard way when I sliced it too early and the meat looked gray instead of pink.
  • Don't skip rinsing the rice; it's the difference between fluffy grains and a gluey mess that nobody wants.
03 -
  • Pat the steak dry before seasoning—moisture prevents browning and you want that crust.
  • If your oven runs hot, start checking the steak at 12 minutes; every oven is different and you'd rather catch it early than overcook it.
