Directions
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Toss the carrots and shallots with 5 teaspoons vegetable oil, the coriander, red pepper flakes, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper on a rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon honey, then toss again. Roast, tossing halfway through, until the vegetables are tender and caramelized around the edges, 25 to 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, pat the steaks dry and season with salt and pepper. Mix together 2 teaspoons curry paste, 1 teaspoon vegetable oil and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon honey. Rub all over the steak; let stand 10 minutes. Mix together the butter, the remaining 2 teaspoons curry paste, the lime zest and a pinch each of salt and pepper in a small bowl.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Add the steaks and cook, turning occasionally, until browned all over, 8 to 12 minutes for medium-rare, depending on the thickness. Transfer to a plate and spread half of the curry butter on top; let rest at least 5 minutes, then thinly slice against the grain.
When the roasted vegetables are done, add the remaining curry butter and toss. Sprinkle with the parsley and serve with the steaks.
