A quick and satisfying one-pan meal featuring juicy, flavorful steak and perfectly crisp herb-roasted potatoes, ideal for busy weeknights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ribeye, sirloin, or flank steak (choose a cut with some marbling for juiciness)
  • 1 lb baby Yukon gold or red potatoes, halved or quartered depending on size
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Optional: fresh lemon juice or chopped parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, toss the halved potatoes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  3. Arrange the potatoes in a single layer on one side of a large rimmed baking sheet and roast for 15 minutes.
  4. Pat the steak dry with paper towels, rub with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and season generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
  5. After the potatoes have roasted for 15 minutes, remove the sheet pan from the oven, push the potatoes to one side, and lay the steak flat on the empty side of the pan.
  6. Return the pan to the oven and roast everything for another 12-15 minutes, flipping the steak halfway through cooking. Aim for an internal temperature of 130-135°F for medium-rare or 140-145°F for medium.
  7. Check the potatoes; if they need extra crisping, broil for 2-3 minutes while watching closely to avoid burning.
  8. Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
  9. Slice the steak against the grain, plate alongside the crispy potatoes, and garnish with fresh parsley or a squeeze of lemon if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

Pat the steak dry before seasoning to ensure a good crust. Do not overcrowd the pan to allow crispiness. Use a meat thermometer for perfect doneness. Rest the steak for 5 minutes before slicing. If potatoes need extra crisping, broil briefly. For thicker steaks, add a few extra minutes of cooking time.
