Ingredients

  • 2 thick-cut (8 oz each) beef ribeye or sirloin steaks
  • 1.25 lb potatoes, waxy (e.g., Yukon Gold)
  • 4 cups broccoli florets
  • 2 medium carrots
  • 1 cup beef stock
  • 1 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 sprigs fresh thyme

Instructions

  1. 1

    Cut potatoes into 1-inch chunks. Toss with oil, salt, and pepper on a sheet pan; spread in a single layer.

  2. 2

    Roast at 425°F for 12 minutes. Add broccoli and carrot slices; toss everything and roast another 10 minutes.

  3. 3

    While vegetables roast, pat beef dry and season generously with salt and pepper on both sides.

  4. 4

    Heat oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, about 90 seconds.

  5. 5

    Sear beef 2 minutes per side without moving — edges should be golden, centers still rare to medium-rare.

  6. 6

    Remove beef to a plate. Add stock, tomato paste, Worcestershire, and thyme to the skillet; simmer 2 minutes.

  7. 7

    Plate vegetables, top with beef, pour gravy over everything. Serve hot.
