Instructions
- Prep (oven + stove): Heat oven to 425°F. Pat steak very dry; season generously with salt and pepper. Cut carrots into fries/sticks. Cut broccoli into florets. Mince garlic.
- Roast carrots (oven): Toss carrots with 1 tbsp olive oil, salt, pepper. Roast on a sheet pan until browned and tender, 20–25 minutes, flipping once.
- Make chimichurri (no-cook): In a bowl, mix chopped parsley/cilantro, 1–2 cloves minced garlic, red wine vinegar, pinch red pepper, and 2 tbsp olive oil. Season with salt/pepper. (Optional) Add a little lemon zest/juice for extra lift.
- Sear steak (stove): Heat a skillet (cast iron ideal) over medium-high until very hot. Add a thin film of oil if needed. Sear steak 3–4 minutes per side for medium-rare (depending on thickness). Rest 5–10 minutes before slicing.
- Quick garlicky broccoli (stove): While steak rests, sauté broccoli in the steak skillet (wipe out excess fat if needed). Add a splash of water, cover 2 minutes to steam, then uncover and add remaining minced garlic; toss 30–60 seconds. Season with salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon if using.
- Serve: Slice steak against the grain. Plate with roasted carrots and broccoli. Spoon chimichurri over steak (and a little on the veg if you like).
Health notes: ~650–850 calories per serving (depends on steak size and oil). High protein, lots of veg; chimichurri adds healthy fats but keep it to 1–2 tbsp each if watching calories.
Drink pairing: Wine: Washington Syrah (Walla Walla or Columbia Valley). Beer: a WA amber ale (e.g., Georgetown Manny’s).
