Garlic Butter Steak with Roasted Vegetables

Nothing beats the classic combo of juicy steak and roasted veggies, especially when it’s all drenched in a rich garlic butter sauce. This Garlic Butter Steak with Roasted Vegetables is a surefire way to impress at any dinner table.

Ingredients

• 1.5 lbs ribeye steak
• 2 cups mixed vegetables (such as carrots, broccoli, and bell peppers), chopped
• 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1/2 tsp dried thyme

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F. Toss the mixed vegetables with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet and roast for 20 minutes until tender and slightly charred.
2. While the vegetables roast, season the steak with 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper, and 1/2 tsp dried thyme. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the steak to your desired doneness, about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare.
3. In the last minute of cooking, add 3 tbsp melted butter and 4 cloves minced garlic to the skillet, spooning the garlic butter over the steak continuously.
4. Let the steak rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve alongside the roasted vegetables, drizzled with the remaining garlic butter from the skillet.
