- 2 tablespoons olive oil

- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon paprika
Instructions
- Create a robust marinade by whisking together soy sauce, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, minced garlic, oregano, cumin, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl.
- Submerge thinly sliced beef in the marinade, ensuring complete coverage, then refrigerate for a minimum of 30 minutes to allow flavor absorption.
- Preheat oven to 400°F and prepare a parchment-lined baking sheet for vegetable roasting.
- Chop carrots, zucchini, bell peppers, and onions into uniform pieces to ensure even cooking.
- Toss chopped vegetables with olive oil, salt, pepper, thyme, and paprika in a large mixing bowl, coating each piece thoroughly.
- Distribute seasoned vegetables across the baking sheet in a single, uncrowded layer to promote proper caramelization.
- Roast vegetables for 25-30 minutes, rotating the pan midway to guarantee consistent browning and tenderness.
- Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium-high temperature for beef preparation.
- Transfer marinated beef to the hot skillet, cooking 4-5 minutes while occasionally stirring to achieve a uniform golden-brown exterior.
- Plate roasted vegetables as a base, topping with the expertly seared beef.
- Optional: Enhance the dish with fresh herb garnish or a zesty lemon juice drizzle for added brightness.
Notes
- Marinate beef longer for deeper, richer flavor profiles that transform the dish from good to extraordinary.
- Slice vegetables uniformly to ensure even roasting and prevent burning or uneven cooking textures.
- Use high-quality olive oil and fresh herbs to elevate the overall taste and nutritional value of the meal.
- For gluten-free option, replace traditional soy sauce with tamari or coconut aminos to maintain the savory marinade complexity.
