Instructions

Prepare the steak

Rub the beef flank steak with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes at room temperature.

Pro tip: For deeper flavour, marinate the steak in the refrigerator overnight.

Preheat the oven

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).

Roast the vegetables

Toss the baby potatoes, carrots, and bell peppers with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them evenly on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.

Pro tip: Stir the vegetables halfway through cooking for even roasting.

Sear the steak

Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the steak for 3-4 minutes on each side until browned.

Pro tip: Use a cast-iron skillet for best searing results.

Gratinate the steak

Sprinkle the grated Gruyère cheese over the seared steak. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for about 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Rest and serve

Remove the steak from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Slice against the grain and serve with the roasted vegetables.

Pro tip: Resting the steak allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a juicy bite.
