Ingredients

• 1 1/2 lbs steak (sirloin or ribeye) (680 g)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil (30 ml), divided
• 1 teaspoon salt (6 g)
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper (2 g)
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder (3 g)
• 1 cup long-grain rice (185 g)
• 2 cups water or broth (480 ml)
• 1 cup broccoli florets (150 g)
• 1 cup carrots, sliced (120 g)
• For the Onion Gravy:
• 2 large onions, thinly sliced
• 2 tablespoons butter (28 g)
• 2 tablespoons flour (16 g)
• 1 1/2 cups beef broth (360 ml)
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce (5 ml)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Cook the rice: In a saucepan, bring water or broth to a boil. Add rice, reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 15–18 minutes until fluffy. Set aside.
2. Roast the vegetables: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss broccoli and carrots with 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast for 20–25 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.
3. Season the steak: Pat steak dry and season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
4. Cook the steak: Heat remaining olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook steak for 4–5 minutes per side (or to desired doneness). Let rest, then slice.
5. Make the onion gravy: In the same pan, melt butter and add sliced onions. Cook for 10–15 minutes until deeply caramelized.
6. Thicken the gravy: Stir in flour and cook for 1 minute. Slowly add beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, stirring until smooth and thickened.
7. Assemble the plate: Serve sliced steak over rice, topped with onion gravy, alongside roasted vegetables.
