Instructions
FOR THE VEGETABLES
Prep. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Prepare the veggies. Place asparagus and cherry tomatoes on a large sheet pan or baking tray. Try not to overlap the vegetables so that they roast properly.
Season and roast. Drizzle the veggies with olive oil and season with dried basil, salt, and pepper; using your hands or tongs, mix them until they are evenly covered with the oil and seasonings. Roast the vegetables for 10 minutes.
FOR THE STEAK
Season the steak. In the meantime, prepare the steaks by seasoning them with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Using your hands, rub the seasoning into the steaks.
Roast. Remove the sheet pan from the oven, push the vegetables to the side to make room for the steaks; place the steaks on the sheet pan and roast for 10 more minutes, or until desired doneness is reached. Flip the steaks halfway through cooking.
FOR THE BASIL GARLIC BUTTER
Make the compound butter. Meanwhile, combine the butter, basil, garlic, salt, and pepper in a small mixing bowl. Using a fork, mix and mash the butter mixture until well incorporated.
Finish and serve. Remove the sheet pan from the oven and spoon a few dabs of butter over the steaks and veggies. Let the steaks rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes
If you do not want to use butter, you can also stir the basil, garlic, salt, and pepper into 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
