Ingredients

Method

1. 1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the carrots and parsnips with olive oil, salt, pepper, and rosemary on a sheet pan. Roast for 25–30 minutes until tender and caramelized.
2. 2. While roots roast, bring your steaks to room temperature. Season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
3. 3. Heat a heavy skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Sear the steak for 4–5 minutes per side for medium-rare.
4. 4. Let the meat rest on a cutting board for at least 8 minutes before slicing. This keeps the juices inside where they belong.
