# Step-by-Step Instructions:

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, 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, and salt and pepper to taste.
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, adjusting time according to preference. Broil an additional 2 to 3 minutes for enhanced caramelization 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 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 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 Advice:

01 -
  • One sheet pan means you're not standing at the stove wondering what's burning somewhere else.
  • The steak stays juicy while the vegetables get this incredible caramelized char that changes everything.
  • It comes together in under an hour, which makes it perfect for those nights when you want something impressive without the stress.
02 -
  • Resting the steak is non-negotiable; skipping this step means all those delicious juices run onto the plate instead of staying in the meat.
  • Don't crowd the sheet pan with vegetables because they'll steam instead of caramelize, and steamed vegetables won't give you that golden-brown magic you're after.
03 -
  • Pat your steak completely dry before seasoning so it develops a proper crust instead of steaming in its own moisture.
  • If your oven runs hot, start checking the steak a minute or two earlier than the recipe suggests to avoid overcooking.
