# Cooking 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, 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, and salt and pepper.
04 - Distribute vegetables evenly on 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 additional caramelization, broil for 2-3 minutes if 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 12-15 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 -
  • Everything cooks together so the steak drippings mingle with the vegetables and create this savory glaze you cant replicate any other way.
  • Cleanup takes about ninety seconds because theres only one pan, one pot for rice, and a cutting board.
  • The vegetables get these crispy charred edges while staying tender inside, and they taste like they were grilled outdoors.
  • You can prep the whole thing in the time it takes to preheat your oven, making it perfect for weeknights when youre too tired to think.
02 -
  • Dont skip resting the steak or all those beautiful juices will run out onto your cutting board instead of staying inside the meat.
  • Overcrowding the pan will steam the vegetables instead of roasting them, so use a large sheet pan and spread everything out in a single layer.
  • Slicing against the grain is the difference between tender bites and chewy ones, especially with flank steak.
03 -
  • Pat the steak dry with paper towels before seasoning so the spices stick and the surface browns instead of steaming.
  • Use parchment paper instead of foil if you want easier cleanup, and it wont react with acidic ingredients like tomatoes.
  • Let your sheet pan preheat in the oven for a few minutes before adding the vegetables for an even better sear.
  • If your steak is thicker than an inch, consider searing it in a hot skillet for two minutes per side before finishing it on the sheet pan.
