# How-To Steps:

01 - Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or foil.
02 - In a bowl, toss steak with 1 tablespoon olive oil, kosher salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Let rest briefly.
03 - In a separate large bowl, toss all vegetables with 2 tablespoons olive oil, Italian herbs, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
04 - Spread seasoned vegetables evenly on prepared sheet pan. Place seasoned steak on top of vegetables.
05 - Roast in preheated oven for 15-18 minutes for medium-rare doneness. Optional: broil for additional 2-3 minutes for extra caramelization.
06 - While steak and vegetables roast, rinse rice under cold water. In a medium saucepan, combine rice, water or broth, and salt. Bring to boil, reduce to simmer, cover, and cook 12-15 minutes until tender. Remove from heat and let stand covered for 5 minutes. Fluff with fork.
07 - Transfer steak to 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.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Everything finishes at exactly the same time, which feels like actual magic when you're hungry.
  • The steak gets this gorgeous crust while staying impossibly juicy inside, no sous vide equipment required.
  • Your kitchen stays relatively clean, which honestly might be the best part of weeknight cooking.
02 -
  • Don't skip the resting time for either the rice or the steak—those quiet minutes make the difference between good and genuinely delicious.
  • The vegetables need to be in a single layer, not piled on top of each other, or they'll steam instead of roast and you'll miss out on that caramelized flavor.
03 -
  • Broiling at the end isn't just for looks—those extra caramelized edges add a sophisticated bitterness that balances the sweet vegetables.
  • Using broth instead of water for the rice turns this from a good meal into something that tastes intentional and restaurant-quality.
