Step-by-step

  • Preheat oven to Broil, High.
  • Slice off ends of asparagus and rinse, pat dry.
  • Cut potatoes into quarters. (If they are larger red potatoes, cut into eighths)
  • In a medium bowl, or on sheet pan that has been sprayed with oil, toss together potatoes, 2 T olive oil, 1 minced garlic clove, 1/2 tsp crushed peppercorn and parsley. Toss well to coat all potatoes evenly.
  • Then ignore this completely and toss in more parmesan because, you know....
  • Spread potatoes evenly on sheet pan and broil for 5-7 minutes or until they just start to lightly brown.
  • While potatoes are cooking, spread 1 T olive oil on both sides of steak and salt as desired.
  • Spread two garlic cloves, the rest of the crushed pepper or even whole peppercorns will work here as well.
  • Sprinkle 2 T parmesan onto steak as well.
  • When potatoes are ready, push them all to the side and place steak next to them.
  • Add asparagus and sprinkle them with a drizzle of olive oil (1/2 T), the rest of the parmesan, one garlic clove minced and sea salt and pepper to taste.
  • Place pan back into oven and broil cooking steak each side 4-6 minutes on each side and then check for desired doneness.
  • For the thickness of our steak, this cooked it to medium.
  • Remove pan from oven and allow to cool for several minutes.
  • Serve with an extra sprinkle of parmesan and enjoy!

Parmesan Crusted Steak and Potato Sheet Pan Dinner: A Weeknight Winner

Weeknights can be a whirlwind of activity, juggling work, kids, and everything in between. Finding time to prepare a delicious and healthy dinner often feels impossible. That's why I've become a huge fan of sheet pan dinners – they're quick, easy, and require minimal cleanup. This Parmesan Crusted Steak and Potato Sheet Pan Dinner is my go-to recipe when I need a satisfying meal on the table without spending hours in the kitchen.

The beauty of this recipe lies in its simplicity. You toss everything – potatoes, asparagus, and steak – onto a single sheet pan, season generously, and let the oven do the work. The result is a perfectly cooked steak with a delightful parmesan crust, tender potatoes, and perfectly crisp-tender asparagus. It's a complete meal all on one pan!

I love using flank steak for this recipe because it's relatively lean, flavorful, and affordable. It cooks up quickly and beautifully on the sheet pan. Feel free to experiment with other cuts of steak, adjusting the cooking time accordingly. Red potatoes are my personal preference, but you could easily substitute Yukon golds or even sweet potatoes for a different flavor profile. The asparagus adds a bright, fresh element to the dish that perfectly balances the richness of the steak and potatoes. And don't skimp on the parmesan! That crunchy, salty topping is what takes this meal from good to great.

Beyond the Recipe: This sheet pan dinner is so versatile; you can easily customize it to your liking. Add other vegetables like broccoli, bell peppers, or onions. Experiment with different herbs and spices to create your unique flavor combinations. One time I added a sprinkle of rosemary and thyme, which added a wonderful aromatic dimension to the dish. Another time, I used a different type of cheese, experimenting with a sharp cheddar, which produced an incredible flavor and melt!

The best part? Cleanup is a breeze! Simply toss the foil-lined sheet pan in the dishwasher, and you're done. This is a true lifesaver on busy weeknights when the last thing you want to do is spend time scrubbing pots and pans. It's a simple yet impressive meal that is guaranteed to please the entire family. The kids love this, it's so easy to pick at and everyone can serve themselves. No waiting for the cook to plate the food!

So, the next time you're short on time but craving a delicious and healthy dinner, give this Parmesan Crusted Steak and Potato Sheet Pan Dinner a try. You won't be disappointed! It's the perfect example of how a simple recipe can be both satisfying and incredibly convenient.

Tips and Tricks:

  • For even cooking, try to use a single layer of vegetables and steak on the pan.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan; if necessary, use two sheet pans.
  • If you prefer a more well-done steak, increase the broiling time.
  • For extra flavor, marinate the steak for a few hours before cooking.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

This recipe is not just a quick weeknight dinner; it's a celebration of simple, fresh ingredients transformed into a delicious and satisfying meal. Enjoy!
