Ingredients
Scale
Produce
- 1 medium butternut squash (about 2 cups cubed)
- 4 cloves fresh garlic (minced)
- 2 sprigs fresh rosemary (chopped)
- 2 sprigs fresh thyme (chopped)
Meat
- 1 lb sirloin or ribeye steak
Pantry
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for roasting the butternut squash.
- Prepare squash: Peel the butternut squash and cut it into bite-sized cubes. Toss the cubes with olive oil, salt, and pepper to coat evenly, then spread them out on a baking sheet in a single layer.
- Roast squash: Roast the squash in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and tender, stirring halfway through to ensure even cooking.
- Season steak: While the squash roasts, season the steak generously with salt, pepper, chopped rosemary, and thyme. Let the steak sit at room temperature for 15 minutes to absorb the flavors and cook more evenly.
- Sear steak: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Sear the steak for approximately 4-5 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness. Remove from heat and let the steak rest for a few minutes before slicing into thin strips.
- Assemble bowls: To assemble, place roasted butternut squash at the bottom of each bowl. Top with the sliced steak and sprinkle minced garlic evenly over the top for an aromatic, flavorful finish.
Notes
- For a spicier twist, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the steak seasoning.
- To save time, you can roast the squash and sear the steak simultaneously.
- Use steak cuts like sirloin or ribeye for the best flavor and tenderness.
- Letting the steak rest after cooking helps retain juices and improves tenderness.
