Sheet Pan Steak and Potatoes

This was tasty. To be fair, I completely changed the recipe to suit the tastes of my house. I marinated the steak overnight in Montreal steak seasoning, and I made.


INGREDIENTS:
2 pounds baby red potatoes
16 ounces broccoli florets*
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried thyme
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
2 pounds (1-inch-thick) top sirloin steak, patted dry

DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to broil. Lightly oil a baking sheet or coat with nonstick spray.
In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook potatoes until parboiled for 12-15 minutes; drain well.
Place potatoes and broccoli in a single layer onto the prepared baking sheet. Add olive oil, garlic and thyme; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Gently toss to combine.
