Instructions
Prep: Preheat oven to 375˚F and lightly grease a baking sheet.
Cook potatoes and green beans: Place potatoes and green beans on the baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, garlic, garlic powder and Italian seasoning. Toss to combine (separate into potatoes and beans if you prefer), then roast in the hot oven for 20 minutes. Remove from the oven, toss, then push aside to make space for the steaks.
Add steaks: Heat oven on broil. Season the steaks with salt and pepper and place on the baking sheet (careful, hot!)
Cook steaks: Place the baking sheet back in the oven and broil until the steak is done to your liking, flipping once. I do about 3-5 minutes per side for medium-rare (depending on the exact size of your steaks), or until desired doneness.
Rest: Remove from the oven and transfer the steaks to a clean cutting board. Combine all ingredients for the garlic butter and spread half over the steaks, then loosely tent with aluminum foil and rest for 5 minutes.
Serve: Slice the steaks to serve with the green beans and potatoes, and serve with the remaining garlic butter and chopped parsley.
Notes
Ingredient Notes:
Steak: My favorite cut here is definitely top sirloin. But cuts like ribeye, strip or porterhouse work great, too. Filet mignon would also work.Potatoes: Yukon Gold are definitely my favorite kind to use here - they are so versatile and always turn out well. If they're in season, new baby potatoes are delicious, too. You could also use fingerling potatoes you cut in half lengthwise.Green beans: I recommend using fresh green beans vs frozen, because frozen ones tend to turn out a little soggy. If all you have is frozen, blanch them in boiling water for a minute and drain them well, to keep them from turning your dinner watery.Great alternatives to green beans would be asparagus (only roast for 10-15 minutes though) or sliced zucchini (which is done in around 10 minutes, too).Garlic: You may absolutely add more fresh garlic if you want this dinner to be very garlicky. I choose to use a mix of fresh and dried for an intense garlic flavor without my kids screaming at the sight of a million tiny pieces of it.Italian seasoning: Feel free to add your own mix of dried herbs (such as thyme, rosemary or oregano), but I just find it much easier to use Italian seasoning (which tastes great here!) vs measuring out a million individual herbs.Parsley: If you're not the kind that keeps fresh herbs on hand (I'm not! I only have fresh herbs for as long as they grow in my garden), you may skip the parsley. If you're going grocery shopping anyways, don't skip. But don't let the absence of parsley in your kitchen RIGHT NOW keep you from making this - it's more of a finishing touch and less of a must. A little grating of lemon peel, a sprinkle of coarse sea salt or some chili flakes work out well, too.Butter: Do not skip. Do not substitute. Please. You can use store-bought garlic butter in place of the homemade, if you don't feel like making your own!
Cooking Tips:
Cook your steak from room temperature: To make sure steak cooks evenly, it's best practice to let it come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking it. Make sure you don't leave it out for a longer time, but 30 minutes while you prep and cook the veggies will make a big difference to how your steak cooks in the oven.If you prefer softer vegetables, or if you want a shorter baking time: Parboil the potatoes and green beans if you need them to cook faster in the oven, OR if you prefer them very well done.Just simmer both in salted water for 8-10 minutes, then roast in the oven as directed in the recipe for 5-10 minutes (or for the full amount of time for very well cooked veggies).For the most flavor: For the most flavorful and tender meat, marinate your steaks in my easy steak marinade while they come to room temperature (this cut of beef doesn't need a long marinating time, 30 minutes are plenty!).Serve with lemon, if you like: My husband really enjoys a little lemon juice squeezed on his steak. You could also add some grated lemon zest to the garlic butter if you like.
