# How to Make:

01 - Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or foil.
02 - In a bowl, combine steak with 1 tablespoon olive oil, kosher salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Allow to marinate briefly.
03 - In a separate large bowl, combine all vegetables with 2 tablespoons olive oil, Italian herbs, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
04 - Distribute vegetables evenly across the prepared sheet pan. Position steak on top of vegetables.
05 - Roast in preheated oven for 15 to 18 minutes for medium-rare doneness. Optional: broil for 2 to 3 additional minutes for enhanced caramelization.
06 - Rinse rice under cold water. In a medium saucepan, combine rice, water or broth, and salt. Bring to boil, reduce heat to simmer, cover, and cook 12 to 15 minutes until tender. Remove from heat and allow to 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 Tips:

01 -
  • One sheet pan means you're basically done with cleanup before dessert even happens.
  • The steak gets this gorgeous crust while the vegetables soften and sweeten from roasting right alongside it.
  • It's the kind of meal that looks impressive but doesn't require you to manage five different cooking temperatures.
02 -
  • Slicing the steak against the grain is the difference between tender bites and chewy ones—take a second to look at the muscle fibers and cut perpendicular to them.
  • Don't skip the resting period for the steak; those 5 minutes are when the proteins relax and reabsorb their juices, and it's absolutely worth the wait.
03 -
  • If your steak is thicker than an inch, you can sear it in a hot skillet for 2 minutes per side before putting it on the sheet pan—this creates a better crust without overcooking the inside.
  • Buy pre-sliced vegetables from the grocery store if time is tight; spending 10 minutes less on prep and 10 minutes more enjoying the meal is always the right trade-off.
