Ingredients
Steak and Vegetables
- 1 1/2 lb flank steak
- 2 lb red potatoes
- 1 lb asparagus
- 3-4 garlic cloves
Seasonings and Toppings
- 1 tsp dried parsley
- 4-5 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
- 3 1/2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp cracked black pepper
- 1/2 tsp sea salt (or to taste)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to the Broil setting on High to prepare for cooking the ingredients quickly with direct heat.
- Prepare Vegetables: Trim the ends off the asparagus, rinse and pat them dry. Cut the red potatoes into quarters, or eighths if they are large, ensuring even cooking.
- Toss Potatoes: In a medium bowl or on an oiled sheet pan, combine the potatoes with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan, 1 minced garlic clove, 1/2 teaspoon cracked black pepper, sea salt to taste, and dried parsley. Toss thoroughly to coat the potatoes evenly with seasoning and cheese.
- Broil Potatoes: Spread the seasoned potatoes evenly on the sheet pan and place under the broiler for 6-8 minutes until they start to develop a light golden-brown color, indicating the beginning of crisping.
- Prepare Steak: While the potatoes are broiling, coat both sides of the flank steak with 1 tablespoon olive oil and season with sea salt. Add two smashed garlic cloves and the remaining cracked pepper. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of Parmesan evenly over the steak.
- Arrange Steak and Asparagus: Once the potatoes are partially cooked, push them to one side of the pan and place the steak next to them. Add the asparagus to the pan, drizzle with 1/2 tablespoon olive oil, sprinkle the remaining Parmesan, one minced garlic clove, and season with sea salt and pepper.
- Broil Steak and Vegetables: Return the pan to the broiler. Cook the steak for 4-6 minutes per side, checking for medium doneness. If you prefer steak more done, add about 2 more minutes per side. You may remove the asparagus if it cooks faster to prevent overcooking.
- Rest and Serve: Remove the pan from the oven and allow the steak to rest for 5-10 minutes. Sprinkle additional Parmesan over the steak and vegetables before serving. Enjoy your hearty and flavorful sheet pan meal!
Notes
- If you have larger potatoes, cutting them into eighths ensures they cook evenly and quickly under the broiler.
- Keep an eye on the asparagus during broiling as it can cook faster than the steak and potatoes; remove it when done to avoid overcooking.
- Resting the steak after cooking is essential for juicy, tender meat.
- Feel free to adjust garlic and Parmesan amounts to your taste preference for stronger or milder flavors.
- Use a meat thermometer to check for your preferred steak doneness: 130°F for medium-rare, 140°F for medium.
