Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Slice the steak against the grain into strips about 1-inch wide.
- In a large bowl, combine the sliced veggies. Add olive oil, salt, pepper, and herbs. Mix well so everything is evenly coated.
- Season the steak with salt and pepper, then drizzle with olive oil.
- Spread the veggies evenly on a sheet pan, creating a single layer.
- Roast the veggies in the oven for 20 minutes.
- After 20 minutes, set the oven to broil. Add the steak to the sheet pan, then broil for 4 minutes on each side or until the steak is cooked to your desired doneness and the veggies are tender and caramelized.
- Take the sheet pan out of the oven. Allow the steak to rest for a few minutes.
- Combine the minced garlic and butter, then drizzle over the steak and veggies.
Expert Tips for the Best Sheet-Pan Steak
- Let the steak rest before slicing it to retain juices, resulting in a more tender bite.
- Sear the steak in a hot skillet for 1-2 minutes before transferring to the oven to enhance the flavor.
- Add herbs to the garlic butter if you want a more aromatic flavor.
- Slice against the green. When it’s time to serve, be sure to slice the steak against the grain. This shortens the muscle fibers, making each bite more tender and easier to chew.
