20 - 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
21 - 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
22 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
23 - 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

# How-To Steps:

01 - Preheat the oven to 425°F.
02 - Toss bell pepper, zucchini, red onion, and cherry tomatoes with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 20 to 25 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.
03 - Rinse rice under cold water. Combine rice, water, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes or until water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
04 - Pat steak dry and rub with 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika.
05 - Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill steak 4 to 5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness. Rest for 5 minutes, then slice thinly against the grain.
06 - Whisk parsley, oregano, garlic, olive oil, red wine vinegar, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper in a bowl until combined.
07 - Divide rice among 4 bowls. Top with roasted vegetables and sliced steak. Drizzle chimichurri sauce over the top. Serve immediately.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • Everything finishes at the same moment, so you're not juggling hot pans while your rice gets cold.
  • The chimichurri tastes like you've been making it for years, even if this is your first try.
  • You can swap vegetables depending on what's in your fridge without throwing off the whole dish.
02 -
  • If you slice the steak while it's still hot, all the juices run out and you're left with dry meat—the five-minute rest is where the real magic happens.
  • Don't overcrowd the vegetables on the baking sheet or they'll steam instead of roast and turn mushy and sad.
03 -
  • Let your steak come to room temperature before grilling so it cooks evenly from edge to center and doesn't end up charred outside and cold inside.
  • If you don't have a grill, a cast-iron skillet gets just as hot and creates an equally beautiful crust—the only difference is you're cooking inside instead of outside.
