I’m not joking when I tell you that there are few things that stress me out more than having a messy kitchen. I just can’t stand it. The kitchen is supposed to be a place of inspiration where I come up with delicious recipes, so I need it to be clean.
That is why I love this recipe. All you need is a knife, a sheet pan, and a small pot (to boil the potatoes) so it doesn’t make a big mess!
I don’t know about you, but I love all types of roasted vegetables. Potatoes are one of my family’s favorites, but corn, cauliflower, broccoli, and tomatoes are popular too. My family has loved this recipe ever since the first time I made it, and we try to have it (or some variation) at least once a week.
Not only is it delicious and easy to clean up, but it is a great way to try out the new, popular “sheet pan” method of making food with only one pan. One of my favorite kitchen “tools” is my slow cooker. It definitely makes it easier to make some great meals. That said, I love this new method as well because it makes preparation and cleanup so much easier!
It is so easy to just add the fresh vegetables to the sheet pan and season them along with the flank steak and then letting them all cook together. You will be surprised how delicious it is!
This recipe is simple, fast, and family-approved. The combination of finely chopped garlic, salt, pepper, and cumin give it amazing flavor.
After putting everything on a pan (I really like this one that I have been using) and seasoning it, all you have to do is throw it in the oven and it is ready in 30 minutes (including the time it takes to boil the potatoes). This is just one idea, so feel free to modify it to make it perfect for you and your family.
For example, the other day, I made this with just the flank steak and some sliced potatoes. I drizzled some avocado oil over it and seasoned it, and it turned out amazing!
No matter how you make it, just make sure that you make plenty. I guarantee everyone will be going back for seconds!

Sheet Pan. You definitely need a good, sturdy sheet pan for this recipe. You can get a set of three of my favorites here.
Sharp Kitchen Knives. You will do a lot of cutting for this recipe. You need to have a good set of knives to cut the flank steak and the vegetables also. This set is my go-to.

Put the sheet pan with all of the ingredients in the broiler for 5 - 7 minutes and then flip the meat and continue cooking on broil for 5 - 7 more minutes until cooked to your desired level of doneness.
Will the meat be tender.
I notice in the pictures that the steak is cut up but there is no mention of it in the recipe. Thoughts?
Hi Tiffany! Sorry I didn’t mention it in the recipe, but after everything is cooked I cut the flank steak into slices so it is easier to eat and share. I will update the recipe to mention that 🙂
In the recipe you said cut first but here you said cut after cooking.
I used fajita seasoning for the veggies and it was amazing!
That sounds delicious!
The broil function on my oven doesn’t work very well. Could I cook this on Bake? How would it affect the cooking time?
Hi Tracey – I think that if you bake it at about 400 or so, it should work just fine. I’m not sure how long it would take to cook it though. It might be a good idea to sear it off on both sides before putting it in the oven and then just check every 5 minutes or so. Hope that helps!
I just did! Baked for 30 mins at 400° and it came out amazingly delicious!!
Thank you for sharing this recipe. I made it two nights ago and my fiancé and I really enjoyed it! It was a fast and easy meal to make on a busy week night with very good flavors. I will definitely make it again soon. 🙂
Thanks Evelin! I am so glad that you enjoyed it 🙂
i too would like to know what to do if broiler is broken
i have a convention ovem
I would suggest just to bake at about 450 degrees and keep a close eye on the vegetables and meat. In that case, it may be helpful to grill the meat separately on the stove or on a grill. Hope that helps!
Why is the steak cut into slices in the pictures? Is it cut like that to cook it or is it cut after it is cooked? I would like to know so I can make it for my family but I don’t want to make any mistakes. The meal looks really delicious and I like the idea of hardly any cleaning up after.
Hi Dianne! Sorry for the confusion. I updated the instructions now. I seasoned the flank steak first cut it into thin slices like you see in the 4th picture (before it is cooked) and added it to the sheet pan to cook. That helps it to cook through quicker. Hope that helps and that it turns out great!
This was so easy and very tasty! I turned my broiler down to 400 so the olive oil wouldn’t smoke, and made it with broccoli and carrots. I also lined my pan with foil so I didn’t have to clean the pan afterward. It was delicious, thank you for sharing!
Thanks Judy! I’m glad you enjoyed it!
This was good with the exception that the recipe calls for way too much cumin. I’ll only use 1/2 Tbsp next time.
Hi Alice – Thank you for your feedback. I will update the recipe to read 1/2 – 1 tablespoons. Thanks!
What is a serving size
Is the broccoli cooked first then put on the sheet pan or do you just cut the broccoli head and cook it on the sheet??
Hi Lizeth – Every time that I have made this with broccoli, I just cut it up and cook it on the sheet. Let me know if you have any other questions. 🙂
Am I missing something? I see cooking instructions for everything except the broccoli and the green peppers; are they supposed to be broiling with the flank steak ?
Hi Lisa – I apologize for the confusion. Yes, you are supposed to add everything to the sheet pan and cook it under the broiler at the same time (including meat and veggies). Hope that helps!
What temperature is the meat when it comes out? We like our steak med rare.
When cooked as described in the recipe (5-7 minutes under the broiler on each side), it usually comes out about medium for me. Maybe start a little bit lower and adjust as needed.
This looks delicious! Can I cook this on the grill? If so, how would you adapt? Just put the sheet right on the grill once the grill reaches 450%? Thx!
Hi Claire – This would probably turn out well on the grill. Make sure you use a pan that can be used on a grill. You could also think about cooking the meat directly on the grill, and then cooking the veggies in the oven separately. Good luck!
