Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F. Pat the 1 lb petite sirloin steak dry and let it sit at room temperature while you prep the vegetables.
- Toss 1 lb russet potatoes cut into 1-inch wedges with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika. Spread on one side of a sheet pan.
- Toss 1 lb broccoli florets and sliced stems plus 1/2 lb yellow onion wedges with 1 tablespoon olive oil, a pinch of salt, and a pinch of black pepper. Spread on the other side of the sheet pan.
- Roast the potatoes, broccoli, and onion at 425°F for 25 to 30 minutes, flipping once halfway, until the potatoes are browned on the edges and the broccoli is tender with some charred tips.
- When the vegetables have about 10 minutes left, season the 1 lb petite sirloin steak on both sides with kosher salt and black pepper. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 1/2 tablespoon olive oil.
- Sear the 1 lb petite sirloin steak for about 3 to 4 minutes per side for medium-rare to medium, adjusting for thickness. Add 1 tablespoon butter and 3 minced garlic cloves in the last minute and baste the steak briefly.
- Transfer the steak to a cutting board to rest for 5 to 7 minutes. Lower the skillet heat to medium and add the zest of 1 lemon, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard. Swirl to combine into a quick pan sauce. Add a tablespoon of water if needed to loosen it.
- Slice the rested 1 lb petite sirloin steak thinly against the grain.
- Plate the roasted potatoes first, then lean the sliced steak against them. Arrange the roasted broccoli and onion to the side for color contrast. Spoon the lemon-garlic pan sauce over the steak and finish with a little extra black pepper and a squeeze of lemon if desired.

Health notes: Approximately 620-700 calories per serving. About 42g protein, 30g fat, 42g carbohydrates, 6-8g fiber. Balanced high-protein meal with a moderate starch portion and plenty of cruciferous vegetables.
Drink pairing: A medium-bodied red with fresh acidity works beautifully here. Pinot Noir highlights the beef without overwhelming the broccoli and lemony finish, while Cabernet Sauvignon brings more structure if you like a bolder steak dinner. If using extra black pepper in the pan sauce, Pinot Noir is the more graceful match.
