Equipment

  • 1 large skillet
  • 1 plate

Ingredients
  

  • 4 New York strip, or sirloin steaks (8 ounces each)
  • teaspoons salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 package frozen corn, thawed and drained
  • 1 pound red bliss or new potatoes (cut into fairly small chunks or strips)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh tarragon, chopped (or 1 1/2 teaspoon dried)

Instructions
 

  • Season the steaks with 1 teaspoon of the salt and 1/4 teaspoon of the pepper. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steaks to the skillet (if your skillet is not large enough, don’t overcrowd it, just cook the steaks in two batches).
  • Cook the steaks about 4 minutes per side for medium-rare ( longer if you like your steak more well done). Transfer the steaks to a plate and cover them loosely with foil.
  • Reduce the heat to medium-low; add the potatoes to the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes, then add the broccoli and corn and cook for another 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Season the vegetables with the tarragon and the remaining salt and pepper. Serve alongside the steaks.

Cooking Tips

Steak with Veggies
A steak cooked to perfection – tender, juicy, and full of savory goodness

When it comes to preparing an exquisite Steak with Veggies, a few expert cooking tips can make all the difference. Allow me to share some valuable insights to ensure the best results and help you avoid common mistakes.

  • Achieving the Perfect Sear: To create a flavorful crust on your steak, make sure it’s dry before grilling. Pat it dry with a paper towel and allow it to come to room temperature for about 30 minutes. This will help prevent steaming and promote a beautiful sear.
  • Seasoning Savvy: Don’t skimp on seasoning! Generously season your steak with salt and pepper, or your preferred steak rub, just before grilling. The flavors will infuse into the meat, enhancing its taste.
  • Let it Rest: Once your steak is cooked to perfection, resist the urge to slice into it immediately. Let it rest for about 5-10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute. This will result in a tender and juicy steak.
  • Roasting Veggies: When roasting the vegetables, ensure they are evenly cut for uniform cooking. Toss them with olive oil, salt, and pepper, then spread them out on a baking sheet in a single layer. This will help them cook evenly and develop a delicious caramelized flavor.
  • Temperature Matters: Invest in a meat thermometer to accurately gauge the doneness of your steak. For medium-rare, aim for an internal temperature of 135°F (57°C), while medium is around 145°F (63°C). Remember, carryover cooking will cause the temperature to rise a few degrees even after removing the steak from the heat.

  • Complementary Sides and Garnishes: Pair your Steak with Veggies with roasted garlic mashed potatoes or a creamy risotto for a luxurious meal. Enhance the flavors further with a side of sautéed mushrooms or a tangy chimichurri sauce. Garnish with fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme to add a touch of elegance.
  • Creative Plating: For an eye-catching presentation, thinly slice the steak and arrange it over a bed of mixed greens or baby spinach. Drizzle with a balsamic reduction or a zesty vinaigrette for a burst of flavor. Top it off with shaved Parmesan cheese or toasted pine nuts for added texture.
  • Steak Tacos or Wraps: Transform your leftovers into a delectable meal by using the sliced steak as a filling for tacos or wraps. Add some sliced avocado, crisp lettuce, and a dollop of sour cream for a delightful handheld option.
  • Steak Salad: Slice the steak and serve it over a bed of fresh greens, such as arugula or romaine lettuce. Toss in some cherry tomatoes, sliced cucumbers, and crumbled feta cheese. Drizzle with a lemon-herb dressing for a refreshing and light meal.
