Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) with a rack in the top position. Wash and dry all produce. Trim, peel and cut the carrots diagonally into ½-inch-thick pieces (halve larger carrots lengthwise first). On one side of a baking sheet, toss the carrots with a drizzle of oil, Korean chili flakes (use less if you prefer milder heat) and a pinch of salt. Roast on the top rack for 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, cut the broccoli into bite-sized florets. Trim and thinly slice the scallions, separating the white parts from the green tops.
- Pat the rib-eye steaks dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and pepper. Heat a drizzle of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steaks and cook until browned and cooked to your liking, about 4-6 minutes per side for medium. Transfer the steaks to a cutting board, tent with foil and let rest. Wipe out the skillet.
- After the carrots have roasted for 5 minutes, carefully add the broccoli to the other side of the baking sheet. Toss with a drizzle of oil, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Return the sheet to the top rack and continue roasting until the vegetables are tender and lightly browned, 15-20 minutes more.
- When the vegetables are nearly done, heat a drizzle of oil in the same skillet over medium heat. Add the scallion whites and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in the apricot jam, ponzu sauce, sriracha and ¼ cup water (⅓ cup for 4 servings). Cook, stirring, until the sauce thickens, 1-3 minutes. If the sauce seems too thick, add more water 1 teaspoon at a time. Remove from heat and stir in the butter until melted. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Slice the rested steaks against the grain. Divide the steak and roasted vegetables among plates. Spoon the apricot sauce over the steak and garnish with the scallion greens. Serve immediately.
Recipe Tips
For the best sear, make sure the pan is hot before adding the steak and pat it dry thoroughly.
If you prefer a milder sauce, reduce the sriracha or omit it entirely.
Let the steak rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing to keep it juicy.
