Instructions:
Prep the Vegetables:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a splash of olive oil.
Season the steak generously with salt, pepper, and the remaining rosemary.
Sear the steak for 3-4 minutes on each side (for medium-rare) or until it reaches your desired doneness.
Let the steak rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Assemble the Plate:
Spoon the mashed potatoes onto the plate as a base.
Arrange the sliced steak over the mashed potatoes.
Add the roasted asparagus and cherry tomatoes around the steak.
