How to Make Parmesan Crusted Steak and Potatoes
- Preheat the oven to broil on HIGH.
- Prep the vegetables: Cut potatoes into quarters (or eighths if large). Trim the asparagus ends and set aside.
- Season the potatoes: Toss potatoes with olive oil, garlic, parmesan, parsley, pepper, and salt until evenly coated.
- Broil the potatoes: Spread them on a sheet pan and broil for 6–8 minutes until they begin to brown.
- Season the steak: Rub both sides with olive oil, garlic, parmesan, pepper, and salt.
- Add steak and asparagus: Push potatoes to one side, add steak, then add asparagus tossed with olive oil, garlic, parmesan, salt, and pepper.
- Broil to finish: Cook steak 4–6 minutes per side, flipping once, until desired doneness is reached.
- Rest and serve: Let the steak rest 5–10 minutes before slicing. Finish with extra parmesan and enjoy.
Helpful Tips for Success
- If your steak is thicker than 1½ inches, start cooking it with the potatoes and add asparagus during the final minutes.
- To avoid overcooking vegetables, you can remove them early while the steak finishes.
- Want less moisture on the pan? Use a rack set over the sheet pan.
- This meal can be prepped ahead—season everything earlier in the day and cook when ready.
Make It Your Own
- Swap asparagus for green beans or broccoli
- Add extra parmesan right before serving
- Serve with a simple salad or crusty bread for a complete meal
