Simple Prep & Assembly
- 1
Preheat Oven & Prepare Vegetables
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the mixed vegetables with about half of the olive oil, salt, pepper, and dried herbs. Spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet.
- 2
Roast Vegetables
Roast the vegetables for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized, flipping halfway through.
- 3
Prepare and Cook Steak
While vegetables are roasting, pat the sirloin steak dry with paper towels. Season generously on all sides with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Heat the remaining olive oil in a cast-iron skillet or heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot, add the steak and sear for 3-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or to your desired doneness. Adjust cooking time based on steak thickness.
- 4
Rest and Slice Steak
Remove the steak from the pan and let it rest on a cutting board for 5-10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a more tender and flavorful steak. After resting, slice the steak against the grain into thin strips.

Assemble the Bowl
In a serving bowl, create a base of cooked rice. Arrange the roasted vegetables and sliced sirloin steak over the rice. Garnish with fresh parsley or green onions if desired. Serve warm.
