Ingredients
Steak
- 1 1/2 lb flank steak
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 tsp cracked black pepper
- Sea salt, to taste
Potatoes
- 2 lb red potatoes (quartered or eighths if large)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese (plus extra for tossing)
- 1 minced garlic clove
- 1/2 tsp cracked black pepper
- 1 tsp dried parsley
- Sea salt, to taste
Asparagus
- 1 lb asparagus, ends trimmed
- 1/2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 minced garlic clove
- Remaining grated Parmesan cheese
- Sea salt and cracked black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to the Broil setting on High to prepare for cooking the potatoes and steak.
- Prepare Vegetables: Rinse and pat dry the asparagus after slicing off the ends. Cut the red potatoes into quarters or eighths if they are large, setting them aside for seasoning.
- Season Potatoes: In a medium bowl or directly on the sheet pan, toss the quartered potatoes with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 2 tablespoons Parmesan, 1 minced garlic clove, 1/2 teaspoon cracked pepper, sea salt to taste, and dried parsley. Toss thoroughly to coat them well. Add extra Parmesan if desired for added crust and flavor.
- Broil Potatoes: Spread the seasoned potatoes evenly across the sheet pan and broil for 6-8 minutes until they begin to lightly brown.
- Prepare Steak: While potatoes broil, rub the steak with 1 tablespoon olive oil on both sides and season with sea salt. Spread 2 whole garlic cloves and the remaining cracked black pepper over the steak, then sprinkle 2 tablespoons Parmesan evenly on top.
- Add Steak and Asparagus: When potatoes are lightly browned, push them to one side of the pan and place the prepared steak alongside. Add the trimmed asparagus next to the steak, drizzle with 1/2 tablespoon olive oil, sprinkle with remaining Parmesan, minced garlic clove, sea salt, and pepper.
- Broil Steak and Veggies: Return the sheet pan to the oven and broil the steak for about 4-6 minutes on each side. Check the steak for medium doneness; cook an additional 2 minutes per side if a more well-done steak is desired. You may need to remove the asparagus earlier if it cooks faster.
- Rest and Serve: Remove the pan from the oven and let the steak rest for 5-10 minutes to retain juices. Serve with an extra sprinkle of Parmesan on top and enjoy your delicious sheet pan dinner!
Notes
- Adjust broiling times based on your oven’s broiler intensity to prevent burning.
- Flank steak is best cooked to medium for tenderness; avoid overcooking.
- Using a light coating of olive oil prevents sticking and helps develop a crisp crust.
- Feel free to substitute asparagus with other quick-cooking vegetables like green beans or broccolini.
- Letting the steak rest after cooking enhances juiciness and flavor.
