(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.

2. In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, garlic powder, rosemary, paprika, salt, and pepper.

3. Rub the seasoning mixture all over the steaks, ensuring they’re well-coated.

4. In a separate bowl, toss the diced potatoes, bell pepper, zucchini, and red onion with a bit of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper.

5. Arrange the seasoned vegetables on one half of the sheet pan and place the steaks on the other half.

6. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping the vegetables halfway through. The steaks will cook to about medium (internal temperature of 145°F/63°C). For more doneness, cook an additional 3-5 minutes.

7. Once everything is cooked to your liking, remove the pan from the oven and let the steaks rest for 5 minutes before serving.

8. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately.

FAQs

How do I cook the steak to my preferred doneness?

To achieve different doneness levels, use a meat thermometer:

• Rare: 120°F (49°C)

• Medium-rare: 130°F (54°C)

• Medium: 145°F (63°C)

• Medium-well: 150°F (66°C)

• Well-done: 160°F (71°C)

Can I use different cuts of steak?

Yes, you can use any steak cut you prefer. Flank steak, strip steak, or even skirt steak can work well, but you may need to adjust the cooking time based on thickness.

Can I use frozen vegetables?

It’s best to use fresh vegetables for this recipe to achieve the best texture, but if you use frozen, reduce the cooking time and make sure to thaw them before roasting.

How can I make this dish more filling?

Serve the sheet pan steak and veggies with a side of rice, quinoa, or a simple salad to make it a more substantial meal.

Can I add seasoning to the vegetables?

Absolutely! Feel free to add your favorite spices or fresh herbs to the vegetables, such as thyme, rosemary, or a pinch of cumin.

How do I make the steak extra tender?

For a more tender steak, allow it to rest after cooking. This helps retain the juices and keep it moist. You can also marinate the steak beforehand for added flavor and tenderness.

How can I make the vegetables crispier?

To get crispier vegetables, increase the oven temperature to 425°F (220°C) and bake for a few extra minutes, flipping halfway through.

Can I cook everything at once in the oven?

Yes, the key is to make sure the vegetables and steaks are evenly spaced on the sheet pan, so they cook at the same time. If you have a smaller sheet pan, you can cook them in batches.

Can I make this recipe with chicken instead of steak?

Yes, boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs can be substituted for the steak. Just adjust the cooking time, as chicken takes a bit longer to cook through.

Can I use other seasonings for the steak?

Feel free to get creative! You can use a steak rub, garlic and herb seasoning, or even a pre-made spice mix for variety.
