Why This One-Pan Dish Wins Every Time
There’s a certain magic in one-pan dinners: the flavors meld, the textures sing, and the end result always feels so much more than the sum of its parts. In this recipe, beef sizzles alongside potatoes, picking up honey’s caramelized notes and mingling with aromatic herbs and spices. It’s a perfect solution for busy weeknights, impressing for a cozy family meal or a casual gathering alike.
Essential Prep for Potatoes & Beef
Uniformly chopped potatoes are key for optimal crispiness and even cooking. A vegetable chopper like the Mueller Pro-Series 10-in-1, 8 Blade Vegetable Chopper streamlines this step and ensures perfect cubes every time. Choose a well-marbled cut of beef—such as sirloin or flank steak—for maximum flavor and tenderness in every bite.
Coating the potatoes with a touch of oil and seasoning before roasting brings out their best texture. For consistent results and easy release, layer a sheet of Reynolds Kitchens Brown Parchment Paper Roll on your sheet pan.
Mastering the Honey Glaze
The signature honey glaze adds complexity and craveability to the entire dish. Combining honey with garlic, soy sauce, and a touch of Dijon, this glaze both tenderizes the beef and amps up the roasted flavors. For even mixing, using a quality bowl and whisk makes all the difference. Want to check for doneness with precision? A digital meat thermometer such as the ThermoPro TP19H Digital Meat Thermometer for Cooking can help you achieve perfectly cooked beef every single time.
Crisping Potatoes & Juicy Beef in One Pan
Choose a sturdy, oven-safe skillet or sheet pan for even heat distribution. The SENSARTE Nonstick Frying Pan Skillet, 9.5 Inch is a reliable option that sears beef beautifully without sticking, while ensuring potatoes roast to crispy perfection. Roast the potatoes first for an extra-crunchy bite, then add the marinated beef for the final stretch.

Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F. Line a large rimmed sheet pan with a section of Reynolds Kitchens Brown Parchment Paper Roll for easy cleanup and stick-free roasting.
- In a large bowl, toss the potato cubes with 2 tablespoons olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Spread evenly on the prepared pan. Roast for 15 minutes.
- While potatoes roast, combine honey, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, and minced garlic in a small bowl. Whisk to blend.
- Slice beef (against the grain for tenderness) and coat with 1 tablespoon olive oil, plus half the honey glaze. Set aside.
- After 15 minutes, remove the pan from the oven. Turn the potatoes with a spatula, then nestle marinated beef slices among them. Drizzle remaining honey glaze over the pan.
- Return to oven and roast for another 12–15 minutes, until potatoes are golden and crisp and beef is just cooked through. (Use your ThermoPro TP19H Digital Meat Thermometer for Cooking to check for 135°F for medium rare, if desired.)
- Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve immediately.
