Ingredients
- 8 oz beef sirloin steak
- 2 tbsp avocado oil
- 1 tsp finely chopped fresh rosemary
- 1 tsp finely chopped fresh thyme
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp coarse sea salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp lemon juice
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Pat the beef steak dry with paper towels, then season both sides evenly with 1/2 tsp coarse sea salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper, and 1/2 tsp garlic powder.
- Step 2: Heat 1 tbsp avocado oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Sear the steak for 3 minutes per side until deeply browned, then transfer the skillet to the oven and roast for 8 minutes for medium-rare, or until an internal thermometer reads 125°F.
- Step 3: While the steak rests, toss broccoli florets with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp lemon juice, and a pinch of salt in a baking dish. Roast for 15 minutes until edges are crispy and tender.
- Step 4: Finely chop 1 tsp fresh rosemary and 1 tsp fresh thyme, then mix with the remaining 1 tsp avocado oil. Brush this herb mixture over the rested steak before slicing.
- Step 5: Serve the sliced beef with roasted broccoli, drizzling any pan juices from the steak over the vegetables.
