I first made it when my dad surprised me with an unexpected visit, bringing along his favorite bottle of wine.

The simplicity of roasting everything together was a blessing amidst the chaos of trying to impress him. Every bite seemed to wrap us in warmth and love, reminding me of every family gathering where a good meal sparked the best conversations.

- Preheat and Prep:
- Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper to make for easier cleanup later.
- Veggie Toss:
- In a large bowl, toss potatoes, onion, bell pepper, zucchini, and green beans with olive oil, rosemary, thyme, garlic, paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
- Arrange and Roast:
- Spread the seasoned vegetables on the sheet pan in a single layer, leaving room for the steaks, and roast for 15 minutes.
- Prepare the Steaks:
- While the veggies are roasting, pat the steaks dry with paper towels. Season them generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Combine:
- Remove the sheet pan from the oven and nestle the steaks among the vegetables before returning it to the oven.
- Finish Cooking:
- Roast everything together for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the steaks reach your desired doneness, checking with a meat thermometer.
- Broil for Perfection:
- If you want a beautiful finish, broil on high for 2 minutes to brown the steaks and crisp up the potatoes.
- Rest and Serve:
- Let the steaks rest for about 5 minutes, then top with a pat of butter and sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
