How to Make Sheet Pan Steak and Potatoes
- Preheat oven & prep pan. Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil or parchment.
- Make caramelized onion (optional). Heat 1 tbsp coconut or olive oil in a skillet over medium. Cook sliced onion, stirring occasionally, 15–20 minutes until deep amber. Set aside.
- Season potatoes. Place halved potatoes on the pan. Toss with 2 tbsp olive oil, garlic, thyme, rosemary, oregano, salt and pepper until evenly coated.
- Roast potatoes. Spread potatoes in a single layer on one side of the baking sheet. Roast 18–22 min, flipping once halfway, until fork-tender and golden-brown. (Time varies by potato size.)
- Season steak. While potatoes roast, mix garlic powder, Italian seasoning, paprika, red pepper flakes, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Rub both sides of the steak with the spice mix.
- Finish steak: Remove potatoes and switch oven to broil. Stir potatoes and push to one side of the pan. Place steak on the other side. Broil the steak for 5-7 minutes on one side then remove from the oven, flip the steak, stir the potatoes and place back in the oven. Broil the other side of the steak for another 5-7 minutes or until medium rare (135°F).
- Rest steak. Remove steak to a cutting board, tent loosely with foil, and rest 5–10 minutes. This step is essential — it lets juices redistribute.
- Finish & serve. Slice steak thinly against the grain. Top with a pat of butter, chopped parsley, and caramelized onions if using. Serve with roasted potatoes.
Recipe Variations
- Add veggies: Add some greens like broccoli or asparagus to the pan with the potatoes the pan for the last 8–10 minutes.
- Garlic butter finish: Mix butter, garlic, and parsley and spoon over slices.
- Parmesan crust: Toss potatoes with ¼ cup shredded Parmesan before finishing.
- Top with mushrooms: Mushrooms are one of my favorite steak pairings. You’ve got to try this easy mushroom sauce for steak when you make this recipe!
Tips for Tender, Juicy Steak
- Physically tenderize the meat by pounding it down with a mallet or rolling pin to break down any tough muscle fibers.
- Season the steak with salt.
- Cook it to the right temperature using an internal thermometer (135°F for medium-rare).
- Rest your meat for a few minutes after cooking so all of the juices don’t run out.
- Slice the steak against the grain.
Temperature Guide
The best way to know when your steak is done is to use an internal meat thermometer. Place the thermometer into the side of the steak until it reaches the center.
- Rare: 120–125°F (remove at 118–120°F, carryover to 120–125°F)
- Medium-rare (recommended for flank/skirt): 130–135°F (remove at 127–130°F). Many chefs prefer 130°F for juicy flank steak.
- Medium: 135–145°F
- USDA safe minimum for whole beef cuts: 145°F (follow USDA guidance if you prefer).
Tip: Flank and skirt are best medium-rare and sliced thin against the grain. Thicker sirloin can be cooked a little longer.

Flank or skirt give great flavor and slice thin. Top sirloin or hanger work too. Adjust the finish time by thickness.
Skillet searing gets the deepest crust but adds a dish. Both produce excellent results when timed properly.
