A quick and easy seared steak and roasted veggies recipe that delivers big flavor with minimal fuss, perfect for busy weeknights or dinner parties.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 810 oz ribeye or sirloin steak (preferably USDA Choice)
  • Salt (kosher or sea salt)
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or avocado oil
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 2 garlic cloves, smashed
  • Fresh rosemary or thyme sprigs (optional)
  • Baby carrots, halved lengthwise
  • Asparagus spears, trimmed
  • Cherry tomatoes, halved
  • Red onion, cut into wedges
  • Olive oil for roasting
  • Salt and pepper for veggies
  • Optional: fresh lemon juice or balsamic glaze for finishing

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss baby carrots, asparagus, cherry tomatoes, and red onion with olive oil, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl. Spread evenly on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes, shaking halfway through.
  2. Remove steak from fridge and pat dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper on both sides. Let sit for 5-10 minutes to come closer to room temperature.
  3. Heat a heavy-bottomed skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon olive or avocado oil and wait until it shimmers but does not smoke.
  4. Place steak in pan away from you. Cook undisturbed for 3-4 minutes until a deep golden crust forms. Flip steak, add butter, smashed garlic, and herbs. Tilt pan and baste steak with melted butter repeatedly. Cook another 3-4 minutes for medium-rare or until internal temperature reaches 130°F (54°C).
  5. Transfer steak to a warm plate and loosely tent with foil. Rest for 5 minutes to allow juices to redistribute.
  6. Optionally, toss roasted veggies with a squeeze of lemon juice or drizzle of balsamic glaze before serving.
  7. Slice steak against the grain and serve with roasted veggies immediately.

Notes

Pat steak dry before searing for a better crust. Use a hot pan but avoid smoking oil. Basting with butter and aromatics enhances flavor and juiciness. Rest steak before slicing to keep it tender. Avoid overcrowding veggies on baking sheet to ensure proper roasting. Reheat leftovers gently in skillet or oven to avoid drying out steak.
