potatoes + veggiesServings: 6
This is perfect for date night without ever leaving the house!
Ingredients
- 1 pound baby yukon potatoes cut in half
- 1 pound asparagus trimmed
- 1 pint cherry tomatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil divided
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme finely chopped
- 2 pounds flank steak 1-inch thick
- 1 lemon quartered
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to broil. Use a nonstick sheet tray or lightly oil a sheet tray or coat with nonstick spray.
- In a large pot of boiling water, add a big pinch of kosher salt followed by 1 pound gold or baby red potatoes halved and until parboiled for 12 minutes; drain.
- Transfer potatoes, 1 pound trimmed asparagus, and 1 pint cherry tomatoes in a single layer onto the sheet tray.
- Combine 3 tablespoon olive oil, 3 minced garlic cloves (or frozen cubes) and 1 teaspoon finely chopped thyme in a small bowl, then drizzle over the veggies; season with salt and pepper and gently toss to fully combine.
- Pat 2 pounds flank steak dry with a paper towel and season steak liberally with salt and pepper; transfer to the opposite side of the veggies or use a second sheet tray.
- Transfer to the oven placing the steak on the rack closest to the top of the oven and the veggies on the rack below (if using 2 sheet trays). Broil until the steak is browned and charred at the edges, about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer and the guide below to cook to desired doneness.
- Remove from the oven, squeeze the fresh lemon over the veggies and let the steak rest for 5 minutes before thinly slicing against the grain. Serve immediately with your favorite steak sauce, if desired.
SERVING SUGGESTIONS
- Serve with a crisp green salad and a side of garlic bread.
