# Directions:

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, toss all vegetables with 2 tablespoons olive oil, Italian herbs, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
04 - Distribute vegetables evenly across the prepared sheet pan. Position steak on top of vegetables.
05 - Roast in preheated oven for 15-18 minutes for medium-rare steak or until desired doneness. For enhanced caramelization, broil for an additional 2-3 minutes if preferred.
06 - Rinse rice under cold water. In a medium saucepan, combine rice, water or broth, and salt. Bring to boil, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 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 rice among serving bowls. Top with roasted vegetables and sliced steak. Drizzle with soy sauce or tamari as desired. Garnish with fresh herbs and lemon wedges.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • One sheet pan means you can actually enjoy your evening instead of standing over a sink full of dishes.
  • The steak gets a beautiful crust while the vegetables underneath soak up all that rendered fat and caramelization.
  • Rice cooks separately but time-perfectly, so everything lands on your plate at once, hot and unified.
02 -
  • Resting the steak isn't optional—it's the difference between a juice-soaked cutting board and a juicy steak on your plate where it belongs.
  • If your sheet pan is crowded, the vegetables steam instead of roast; give them space to touch the hot surface, or use two pans and rotate them halfway through.
03 -
  • Buy your steak the day you plan to cook it, and let it sit on the counter for 20 minutes before cooking—room-temperature meat cooks more evenly.
  • The smoked paprika is subtle but crucial; it adds a whisper of BBQ flavor that makes people ask what your secret ingredient is.
