#Ingredients:

## For the Steak Bites:
– 1 lb sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized pieces
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– 2 tbsp olive oil
– 1 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped
– 1 tbsp fresh thyme, chopped
– Salt and pepper to taste

## For the Roasted Vegetables:

#Directions:

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Toss the broccoli, bell peppers, and zucchini with olive oil, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Spread them in an even layer on a baking sheet.
3. Roast the vegetables in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, until they are tender and slightly charred.

#FAQs

## Can I make this recipe vegetarian?
Yes, you can substitute the steak with a hearty vegetable like portobello mushrooms or eggplant.

## Can I use dried herbs instead of fresh?
Fresh herbs will provide the best flavor, but if you can’t get them, use about half the amount of dried herbs.

## Can I prepare the steak or vegetables ahead of time?
You can cut the steak and vegetables ahead, but they are best cooked just before serving for maximum flavor and texture.
