Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb (450g) flank steak or sirloin, trimmed
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 4 large carrots, peeled and cut into sticks
  • 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup cooked quinoa or brown rice (about 185g cooked)
  • 2 cups baby spinach or mixed greens
  • 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Optional toppings: chopped fresh parsley or cilantro, crumbled feta or goat cheese, toasted nuts or seeds (pumpkin seeds recommended)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss peeled carrot sticks with olive oil, honey (if using), cumin, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet. Spread in a single layer and roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway, until tender and caramelized.
  2. While carrots roast, cook quinoa or brown rice according to package instructions. Set aside and keep warm.
  3. Pat steak dry with paper towels. Rub with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Let rest at room temperature for about 10 minutes.
  4. Heat skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat until very hot (about 5 minutes). Cook steak 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare or longer for preferred doneness. Use a meat thermometer if desired (130°F for medium-rare).
  5. Transfer steak to cutting board, tent loosely with foil, and rest for 5-10 minutes.
  6. Whisk together balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a small bowl to make dressing.
  7. Divide cooked grains into bowls. Arrange roasted carrots and baby spinach on top. Slice rested steak thinly against the grain and add to each bowl.
  8. Drizzle dressing over bowls, sprinkle with optional toppings, and serve immediately.

Notes

Do not skip resting the steak to lock in juices. Watch carrots near end of roasting to avoid burning. Whisk dressing just before serving for best flavor. Avoid overcrowding pan when searing steak to ensure proper crust.
