Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. Toss 2 peeled and cut carrots, 1 sliced zucchini, and 1 cut red bell pepper with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes until tender and edges caramelize.
2. Step 2: Meanwhile, pat dry 2 ribeye steaks and season both sides with 1 tsp salt and 1 tsp black pepper. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
3. Step 3: Add steaks to the skillet and sear for 4 minutes without moving, then flip and sear the other side for 3 minutes for medium-rare doneness.
4. Step 4: Reduce heat to medium-low, add 4 tbsp unsalted butter, 3 smashed garlic cloves, and 3 sprigs fresh thyme to the pan. Spoon melted butter over steaks continuously for 1-2 minutes to infuse flavors.
5. Step 5: Remove steaks from pan and let rest for 5 minutes. Serve alongside the roasted vegetables, spooning any garlic butter from the pan over the steaks.
