- Fresh green beans: They roast up just enough to stay snappy, adding freshness and a pop of color.
- Avocado oil: Great for high-heat roasting and brings a subtle buttery flavor that keeps everything Whole30) compliant.
- Lemon juice: Brightens up the whole sheet pan and pairs especially well with that savory steak.
- Minced garlic: Helps the oil and lemon create a fragrant, punchy marinade.
- Sea salt & black pepper: Essential for bringing out all the best flavors in your protein and veggies.
- Chopped parsley (optional): For a fresh, leafy hit at the end that makes it look and taste even better.
- Ghee or butter (optional): Serve it on the steak for extra richness—just opt for ghee to keep it Whole30) approved!
How to Make Whole30)
Step 1: Preheat and Prepare Your Sheet Pan
Start by heating your oven to 400 degrees F and giving your largest baking sheet a light coat of oil or nonstick spray. Getting that pan nicely hot is key to achieving those golden edges on your potatoes and green beans.
Step 2: Bring Steaks to Room Temperature
This step is a secret to juicy, evenly cooked meat! While your oven preheats and veggies roast, let your steaks rest on the counter for half an hour. That way, they’ll cook faster and more consistently—and that makes every bite better.
Step 3: Prep the Veggies
Give your potatoes a good scrub, then halve or quarter them into quick-cooking, bite-sized pieces. Toss both the potatoes and trimmed green beans onto your sheet pan in a single layer—they’ll roast and caramelize better this way.
Step 4: Toss Vegetables with Marinade
In a small bowl, whisk together the avocado oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, sea salt, and black pepper. Drizzle this mixture over your potatoes and green beans, tossing everything gently so each piece gets a little love.
Step 5: Roast the Veggies
Slide the pan into your hot oven and let everything roast for 20 minutes. By the time you check on them, the potatoes will be getting tender and the beans will just start to brown at the edges.
Step 6: Adjust for Crispiness
If you love super-crispy green beans and potatoes, push them to the edges of the pan now so they get even more golden while the steak broils. If you prefer them a bit softer, you can remove them and set aside while the steak cooks.
Step 7: Broil the Steaks
Crank your oven to broil. Generously season both sides of your steaks with a bit more salt and plenty of black pepper. Place them in the center of the sheet pan (surrounded by the veggies if you left them in), and broil for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or a bit longer if you like your steak well done.
Step 8: Rest and Garnish
Once your steaks are cooked to perfection, let them rest for 5-10 minutes so their juices redistribute. This is when you shower them with fresh parsley and, if you like, a pat of ghee or grass-fed butter (keeping it Whole30) with ghee, of course!). Now you’re ready to serve up your masterpiece.
How to Serve Whole30)
Garnishes
Really make it pop by sprinkling everything with generous handfuls of chopped parsley. If you love richness, add a spoonful of ghee or a dollop of compliant butter right on top of the steak fresh out of the oven. The heat from the steak will melt it, creating a glorious sauce right on the plate.
Side Dishes
This meal is basically a complete plate as is, brimming with protein, starch, and greens. Yet, if you want to go all out for a dinner party or Sunday supper, try serving it alongside a simple arugula salad, a bowl of olives, or a classic Whole30) compliant chimichurri to drizzle over everything.
Creative Ways to Present
For a family-style dinner, bring the whole sizzling sheet pan straight to the table—everyone can help themselves! To elevate the vibe, carve the steak into thin slices and fan them over the veggies, then scatter extras like microgreens or roasted tomatoes for a restaurant-worthy finish.
Make Ahead and Storage
Storing Leftovers
If you have leftovers (lucky you!), let everything cool, then store the steak, potatoes, and green beans separately in airtight containers. They’ll stay delicious for up to three days in the fridge and make the best Whole30) lunch the next day.
Freezing
Steak freezes beautifully! Slice it after resting, then pack in a freezer-safe bag or container. The veggies can be frozen too, though they might soften a bit in texture. For the freshest flavor, eat within one to two months for steak, and three months for veggies.
Reheating
For best results, reheat everything in a hot oven (about 350 degrees F) until warmed through—this keeps the potatoes crisp and the steak juicy. If you’re in a hurry, the microwave works too, but the steak’s texture is nicest when reheated gently in the oven or even in a skillet with a little ghee.
FAQs
Is this dish really Whole30) compliant?
Absolutely! Just make sure you use ghee instead of butter and double check your oil and any garnishes to be certain they’re in line with Whole30) rules—everything in the basic recipe is totally compliant.
Can I use a different cut of steak?
Definitely. Ribeye, strip steak, or even filet all work well on a sheet pan. Just watch the thickness and adjust the broiling time as needed so you don’t overcook your steak.
What if I want extra crispy potatoes?
If you crave super-crispy potatoes, cut them into smaller pieces and arrange them with space on the pan to allow steam to escape. You can even broil them a few extra minutes before adding the steak for maximal golden crunch.
How do I know when my steak is done?
Use a meat thermometer for foolproof results—130 to 135 degrees F for medium-rare. Or just press the steak gently; it should feel springy but not firm. Resting after cooking is essential for juicy results!
Can I add other veggies?
Absolutely! Broccoli, red pepper strips, or mushrooms all roast nicely here. Just keep everything in similar sizes so it all cooks evenly alongside your steak and potatoes, making it the perfect customizable Whole30) meal.
