Ingredients
- 2 (10 oz) steaks, about 1-inch thick ribeye steak
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- 3, minced garlic cloves
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp, finely chopped fresh rosemary
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 3 medium, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces carrots
- 12, halved baby potatoes
- 2 small, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds zucchini
- 2 tsp, divided salt
- 1 tsp, divided black pepper
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat the oven to 425°F. Toss 3 medium peeled and 1-inch chopped carrots, 12 halved baby potatoes, and 2 sliced zucchinis with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper on a baking sheet. Roast for 25-30 minutes until golden and tender.
- Step 2: While vegetables roast, mix 4 tbsp unsalted butter, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1/2 tsp smoked paprika, and 1 tsp finely chopped fresh rosemary in a small bowl; set aside.
- Step 3: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Season 2 ribeye steaks with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Add steaks to skillet and sear for 4 minutes without moving until a brown crust forms.
- Step 4: Flip steaks and cook another 3-4 minutes for medium-rare, spooning some melted butter from the pan over the steaks as they cook.
- Step 5: Remove steaks from heat, top each with 2 tbsp smoked garlic butter mixture, and let rest for 5 minutes before serving with roasted vegetables.
