# How-To:

01 - Preheat oven to 425°F.
02 - Toss bell pepper, zucchini, red onion, and cherry tomatoes with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 20 to 25 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.
03 - Rinse rice under cold water. Combine rice, water, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes or until water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
04 - Pat steak dry and rub with 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika.
05 - Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill steak 4 to 5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness. Rest for 5 minutes, then slice thinly against the grain.
06 - Whisk parsley, oregano, garlic, olive oil, red wine vinegar, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper in a bowl until well combined.
07 - Divide rice among 4 bowls. Top with roasted vegetables and sliced steak. Drizzle chimichurri sauce over the top. Serve immediately.

# Expert Hacks:

01 -
  • Nutritious and Balanced: Combines lean protein, healthy fats from olive oil, and fiber-rich vegetables.
  • Bold Flavor Profile: The homemade chimichurri adds a bright, acidic punch that cuts through the richness of the steak.
  • Gluten-Free: Naturally fits a gluten-free diet without sacrificing any flavor.
02 -
  • Slice Against the Grain: Always cut your steak across the muscle fibers to ensure the meat is tender rather than chewy.
  • Rinse Your Rice: Rinsing the rice under cold water removes excess surface starch, resulting in individual, fluffy grains.
  • Check Labels: If you have food sensitivities, always double-check your spice and vinegar labels to ensure they are free from additives.
