    • Flank Steak - This lean but beefy cut of beef comes from the flank, or rear of the cow near the plate. It's at it's most tender when it's cooked medium-rare to medium and thinly sliced.
    • Bell Peppers - Red and yellow bell peppers add color and are sweeter than the green variety.
    • Red Onion - Red onions caramelize and become sweet as they roast.
    • Kosher Salt - Salt seasons both the vegetables in this sheet pan meal as well as the steak.
    • Black Pepper - Adds earthy heat to the marinade.
    • Cumin - Aromatic, earthy, and a little citrusy.
    • Paprika - Not only adds a slight sweetness to the marinade, it also helps the flank steak develop a crust as it roasts.
    • Garlic Powder - Bright, sharp, and pungent, this adds aromatic and savory flavor to the marinade.
    • Onion Powder - Sweeter than garlic powder, onion powder offers up a fragrant savory note.
    • Chili Powder - This adds mellow, earthy heat. Use your favorite variety such as ancho or guajillo.
    • Olive Oil - Helps bring the marinade together as well as roast the steak and vegetables.
