Southern strip steak with broccoli and rice bowl

Dinner time! What’s on the menu? Definitely a protein, and a vegetable, and a carb, but which ones? Sometimes whipping up a meal prep or a weeknight dinner feels so uninspiring that a gameshow wheel could only help. So, imagine you spun a big, colorful wheel to pick the building blocks of your dish tonight, and it landed on Southern strip steak with broccoli and rice. Congratulations! You hit the jackpot! And you don’t even have to worry about where you’re going to put an above-ground pool.

This meal is wonderfully simple for those of us who are used to multi-tasking. Everything cooks at the same time; the broccoli roasts while the rice fluffs while the steaks sizzle, and the only thing you really need to keep a close eye on is the meat. Luckily, they’re seared in a cast iron skillet and served with a butter, thyme, and garlic sauce, so you can’t really mess them up.
