Ingredients

• Meats
  4 (8 oz) boneless ribeye or sirloin steaks
• Vegetables
  1 ½ lbs baby potatoes, halved
  1 large red onion, sliced
  1 red bell pepper, sliced
  1 zucchini, sliced
  2 cups green beans, trimmed
• Marinade & Seasoning
  3 tbsp olive oil
  1 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped (or 1 tsp dried)
  1 tbsp fresh thyme, chopped (or 1 tsp dried)
  4 garlic cloves, minced
  1 tsp smoked paprika
  Salt and pepper, to taste
• Garnish (optional)
  2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
  1 tbsp unsalted butter

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.

2. Prepare the vegetables

In a large bowl, toss potatoes, onion, bell pepper, zucchini, and green beans with olive oil, rosemary, thyme, garlic, paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.

3. Arrange vegetables

Arrange vegetables in a single layer on the prepared sheet pan, leaving space for the steaks.

4. Roast vegetables

Roast vegetables for 15 minutes.

5. Season steaks

Pat steaks dry with paper towels. Season steaks generously with salt and pepper on both sides.

6. Add steaks

Remove the sheet pan from the oven. Add steaks to the pan, nestling them among the vegetables.

7. Roast together

Return the pan to the oven and roast for an additional 10–15 minutes, or until the steaks reach your desired doneness (use a meat thermometer: 130°F for medium-rare, 140°F for medium).

8. Optional broil

If desired, broil on high for 2 minutes to brown the steaks and crisp up the potatoes.

9. Rest and garnish

Rest steaks for 5 minutes. Top with a pat of butter and sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.

Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

To enhance flavors, use fresh herbs if available and adjust seasoning to your preference. Making sure to dry the steaks before seasoning helps achieve a better sear and crust. Resting the steaks after cooking allows juices to redistribute for maximum tenderness.

Varianten und Anpassungen

You can swap the ribeye or sirloin steaks for chicken breasts or salmon fillets if you prefer. For more vegetable variety, try sweet potatoes, carrots, or Brussels sprouts to suit your family's tastes and seasonal availability.

Serviervorschläge

This dish pairs beautifully with a bold red wine such as Cabernet Sauvignon, which complements the smoky and savory flavors of the steak and roasted vegetables. Serve with a simple green salad or crusty gluten-free bread for a complete meal.
