Make

  1. Preheat oven to 425F / 218C degrees. Toss potatoes in oil and spread out onto a sheet pan. Roast until they're golden and crispy, ~20 minutes. Add asparagus to the pan and stir to combine. Continue roasting until asparagus is tender and turns bright green ~5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  2. If making steak on grill: Preheat grill to 500F / 260C degrees. Clean grates and brush with some oil. Place steak over direct heat. Sear steak for ~4 minutes on each side with the cover closed. Move steak to indirect heat and cook until it reaches desired level of doneness. Medium-rare: 130F / 54C degrees (~3 minutes); Medium: 140F / 60C degrees (~6 minutes); Well-done: 160F / 71C degrees (~10 minutes).
  3. If making steak on stovetop / oven: Heat grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush with cooking oil. Place steak onto hot grill pan. Sear steak for ~4 minutes on each side. Transfer steak to sheet pan; finish cooking in the oven at 425F / 218C degrees. This should be ~4 minutes for medium-rare; ~7 minutes for medium; and 10 minutes for well-done.
  4. Let steak rest, covered, for ~5 minutes. Cut into even portions (or thinly slice against the grain). Serve with roasted vegetables on the side and chimichurri over everything!
