Step 1

• Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 450 degrees. Wash and dry all produce. • Trim, peel, and cut carrots on a diagonal into 1/2-inch-thick pieces. Trim and halve zucchini lengthwise; cut crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick half-moons. Trim and grate cucumber on the largest holes of a box grater. Peel and mince or grate garlic. Quarter lemon. • 4 SERVINGS: Adjust racks to top and middle positions.

Step 2

• Toss carrots and zucchini on a baking sheet with a large drizzle of olive oil, paprika, salt, and pepper. • Roast on top rack until browned and tender, 18-22 minutes. • 4 SERVINGS: Divide veggies between 2 sheets. Roast carrots on top rack and zucchini on middle rack.

Step 3

• Meanwhile, heat a drizzle of olive oil in a small pot over medium-high heat. Reserve a pinch of garlic (you’ll use it in the tzatziki); add remaining garlic to pot. Cook until fragrant, 30 seconds. • Stir in rice, 3/4 cup water, stock concentrate, and a big pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce to a low simmer. Cook until rice is tender, 15-18 minutes. Keep covered off heat until ready to serve. • 4 SERVINGS: Use a medium pot and 11/2 cups water.

Step 4

• While rice cooks, in a small bowl, combine yogurt, sour cream, half the cucumber (taste and add more from there if desired), juice from 1 lemon wedge, and a big pinch of salt. Stir in reserved garlic if desired. • 4 SERVINGS: Squeeze in juice from 2 lemon wedges.

Step 5

• Season steak* with salt and pepper. Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. • Add steak and cook until browned on first side, 4-7 minutes. Flip, reduce heat to medium, and cook until browned and cooked to desired doneness, 4-7 minutes more. Transfer to a cutting board to rest.

Step 6

• Fluff rice with a fork and stir in 1 TBSP butter. Divide between bowls. Arrange veggies on one side of rice. • Slice steak against the grain and arrange next to veggies. Top with tzatziki and almonds. Sprinkle with chili flakes if desired. Serve with remaining lemon wedges on the side. • 4 SERVINGS: Stir in 2 TBSP butter. • TIP: Toast your almonds before garnishing if you like.
