A simple yet flavorful dish featuring juicy steak paired with roasted butternut squash and garlic. The butternut squash is roasted with garlic and olive oil to bring out its natural sweetness, complementing the savory, perfectly cooked steak.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Butternut Squash

  • 1 medium butternut squash, peeled and cubed (about 3 cups)
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

For the Steak

  • 2 steaks (ribeye, sirloin, or your choice), about 8 ounces each
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter for cooking

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Butternut Squash: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a mixing bowl, toss the cubed butternut squash with minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  2. Roast the Squash: Spread the seasoned squash in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast for about 25-30 minutes, turning once halfway through, until the squash is tender and lightly caramelized.
  3. Season the Steak: While the squash is roasting, season both sides of the steaks generously with salt and black pepper.
  4. Cook the Steak: Heat olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steaks and cook according to your preferred doneness, about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare. Remove steaks from the skillet and let them rest for a few minutes.
  5. Serve: Plate the roasted butternut squash alongside the cooked steak. Optionally, garnish with fresh herbs or additional garlic if desired. Serve immediately while warm.

Notes

  • Adjust cooking times based on steak thickness and personal preference for doneness.
  • Use fresh garlic for a more robust flavor in the squash.
  • Resting the steak after cooking helps retain juices for a tender bite.
  • The recipe works well with various steak cuts such as ribeye, sirloin, or filet mignon.
