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
19 - Lemon wedges
20 - 1 tablespoon soy sauce or tamari

# How-To:

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 the 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 is reached. For extra caramelization, broil for an additional 2 to 3 minutes if desired.
06 - While the steak and vegetables roast, rinse the 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, 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 -
  • One pan means more time with people you care about instead of scrubbing dishes.
  • The steak stays juicy while the vegetables develop this incredible sweetness from roasting.
  • It's flexible enough to swap proteins or vegetables depending on what you have on hand.
02 -
  • Slicing the steak against the grain is non-negotiable—it breaks up the muscle fibers and makes even a budget-friendly cut taste tender and refined.
  • Don't skip the resting period on either the steak or rice; these moments of pause are when the magic happens and flavors settle properly.
03 -
  • Pat your steak dry with paper towels before seasoning—moisture is the enemy of a good crust, and a crust is everything.
  • Start checking the steak around the 12-minute mark because ovens vary wildly, and you want to catch it at your preferred doneness rather than overshooting.
