Method

Preparing the Vegetables

  1. 1

    Prepare Carrots

    Peel and cut the carrots into sticks or rounds. In a small bowl, mix honey and balsamic vinegar. Toss the carrots in the mixture and set aside to marinate.

  2. 2

    Prepare Fingerling Potatoes

    Wash the fingerling potatoes thoroughly. Slice them in half lengthwise. Drizzle with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and toss to coat evenly.

  3. 3

    Prepare Petite Onions

    Peel the petite onions and keep them whole. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.

  4. 4

    Sauté Spinach

    In a large pan over medium heat, add a drizzle of olive oil. Once hot, add the spinach and sauté until just wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

Cooking the Steak

  1. 5

    Cook Flat Iron Steak

    Season the flat iron steak with salt and black pepper on both sides. Heat a skillet over high heat and add a tablespoon of olive oil. Once hot, add the steak and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness. Remove from heat and let it rest for about 5 minutes before slicing.

Roasting the Vegetables

  1. 6

    Roast Carrots and Potatoes

    Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Spread the marinated carrots and halved fingerling potatoes on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until tender and caramelized, stirring halfway through.

  2. 7

    Cook Petite Onions

    Place the petite onions on a separate baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Roast in the oven for the last 15 minutes of the carrots and potatoes cooking time, until they are soft and slightly browned.

Plating

  1. 8

    Serve

    On a plate, arrange the sautéed spinach as a bed. Slice the rested flat iron steak and place on top. Arrange the roasted carrots, fingerling potatoes, and petite onions around the steak. Serve with a side of garlic aioli for dipping.
