Ingredients
- Steak, sliced
- Potatoes, cubed
- Olive oil
- Garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Broccoli, steamed
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Wash and cube potatoes into roughly 1-inch pieces. Ensure they are uniformly cut for even cooking.
- Toss potato cubes in olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Spread evenly on prepared baking sheet.
- Roast potatoes in preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, turning once halfway through cooking to ensure golden brown and crispy exterior.
- While potatoes are roasting, season sliced steak with salt and pepper. Let meat rest at room temperature for 10 minutes before cooking.
- Heat a cast-iron skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add a small amount of olive oil.
- Cook steak slices for 2-3 minutes per side for medium-rare, adjusting time based on desired doneness. Let rest for 5 minutes after cooking.
- Steam broccoli in a separate pot or microwave steamer for 3-4 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp.
- Assemble bowls by placing roasted potatoes as base, topping with sliced steak and steamed broccoli.
- Optional: Garnish with fresh herbs or a drizzle of additional olive oil before serving.
Tips
- Uniform Cutting: When cubing the potatoes, aim for 1-inch pieces to ensure they cook evenly and achieve that perfect crispy texture.
- Resting the Steak: Allowing the sliced steak to rest at room temperature for 10 minutes before cooking helps it cook more evenly and enhances flavor.
- High Heat for Searing: Make sure your skillet or grill pan is hot before adding the steak. This will create a beautiful sear and lock in the juices for a tender bite.
- Doneness Check: For perfectly cooked steak, use a meat thermometer. Aim for 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare, adjusting cooking time based on your preference.
- Broccoli Brightness: To keep your broccoli vibrant and tender-crisp, steam it just until bright green, about 3-4 minutes. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice for a fresh twist!
- Garnishing: For an extra touch, consider garnishing your bowls with fresh herbs like parsley or chives, or drizzle a little extra olive oil for added richness.
- Meal Prep: This recipe is great for meal prep! Make extra servings and store them in the fridge for quick lunches or dinners throughout the week.
