# How-To:

01 - Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
02 - In a bowl, toss the steak with 1 tablespoon olive oil, kosher salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Let marinate briefly.
03 - In a separate large bowl, toss all vegetables with 2 tablespoons olive oil, Italian herbs, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
04 - Distribute seasoned vegetables evenly across the prepared sheet pan. Place steak on top of the vegetables.
05 - Roast in preheated oven for 15 to 18 minutes for medium-rare doneness. For enhanced caramelization, broil for an additional 2 to 3 minutes if desired.
06 - Rinse rice under cold water. In a medium saucepan, combine rice, water or broth, and salt. Bring to a boil, reduce to simmer, cover, and cook for 12 to 15 minutes until tender. Remove from heat, keep covered for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.
07 - Transfer steak to a cutting board and rest for 5 minutes. Slice thinly against the grain.
08 - Divide cooked rice among serving bowls. Top with roasted vegetables and sliced steak. Drizzle with soy sauce or tamari if desired. Garnish with fresh herbs and lemon wedges.
