Make

  1. Heat oven to 425F / 218C.

  2. Bake sweet potato fries according to package directions.

  3. Toss broccoli and garlic with cooking oil (portion for vegetables). Spread on a sheet pan and season with some salt and pepper. Transfer to oven and roast until tender, shaking the pan halfway through cooking, ~20 minutes.

  4. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil (portion for steak) and then steak to heated pan. Cook steak, without moving it, until one side is well seared, ~5 minutes. Flip and cook on the other side for 4 minutes. Lower heat to medium, cover with foil, and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes for medium-rare; 4 to 7 minutes for medium; 8 to 10 minutes for well-done.

  5. Set steak aside and let rest, covered, for 5 minutes.

  6. When broccoli is finished, squeeze lemon juice over top.

  7. Serve steak with sweet potato fries and broccoli on the side. Enjoy!
