# Step-by-Step Guide:

01 - Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or foil.
02 - Toss steak with 1 tablespoon olive oil, kosher salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Set aside to marinate briefly.
03 - In a large bowl, combine all vegetables with 2 tablespoons olive oil, Italian herbs, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss until evenly coated.
04 - Spread vegetables evenly across prepared sheet pan. Position steak on top of vegetables.
05 - Roast in preheated oven for 15 to 18 minutes for medium-rare steak or until desired doneness. Broil for 2 to 3 additional minutes if extra caramelization is desired.
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 for 12 to 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 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'll actually want to cook on a weeknight instead of ordering takeout again.
  • The steak comes out perfectly juicy while the vegetables get those caramelized edges that make you close your eyes when you taste them.
  • Your kitchen won't smell like a grease trap because everything roasts together in one motion.
02 -
  • Don't skip letting the steak rest after roasting because if you slice it immediately, all those delicious juices run out onto your cutting board instead of staying in each bite where they belong.
  • The vegetables need to be cut roughly the same size so they cook at the same speed, otherwise you end up with some burnt and some still raw, which ruins the whole vibe.
03 -
  • Line your sheet pan with parchment paper or foil because that's the difference between a 2-minute cleanup and scrubbing for 15 minutes, and life is too short for the scrubbing.
  • Slice your steak thinly against the grain because it makes every bite tender and allows the soy sauce and lemon to reach more surface area.
