Instructions
1. Prepare the Mashed Potatoes
Boil chopped potatoes in salted water until tender (12–15 minutes).
Drain and mash with butter, milk, garlic, salt, and pepper until creamy.
Keep warm while preparing other components.
2. Cook the Steak
Season steak with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and sear steak 3–5 minutes per side for medium (adjust for thickness and preferred doneness).
Remove from heat and let rest 5 minutes, then slice thinly against the grain.
3. Cook the Vegetables
Heat olive oil in a skillet or roast in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for 10–12 minutes.
Season with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika.
Cook until tender-crisp.
4. Prepare Herb Drizzle
Whisk olive oil, chopped herbs, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
Drizzle over steak and vegetables for extra freshness.
5. Assemble the Bowl
Place a scoop of creamy mashed potatoes at the base.
Arrange sliced steak and roasted vegetables on top.
Drizzle with herb sauce if using.
Garnish with extra fresh herbs or microgreens.
Notes & Tips
For extra flavor, marinate steak in garlic, lemon, and olive oil for 30 minutes before cooking.
Swap mashed potatoes for cauliflower mash for a lighter version.
Roast a mix of seasonal vegetables like zucchini, carrots, or cherry tomatoes for color.
Leftover steak can be stored and reheated gently without drying.
