  • 2 cups Butternut Squash (peeled and cubed) Fresh butternut squash, peeled and cubed.
  • 4 cloves Garlic (whole, fresh) Whole, fresh garlic cloves.
  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil (extra virgin) Extra virgin olive oil for roasting.
  • to taste Salt (for seasoning) Adjust to your personal preference.
  • to taste Pepper (for seasoning) Adjust to your personal preference.
For the steak
  • 1 lb Steak (Sirloin or Ribeye) Choose a high-quality cut.
  • 2 sprigs Fresh Rosemary (for seasoning) Use fresh rosemary for added flavor.
  • 2 sprigs Fresh Thyme (for seasoning) Use fresh thyme for added flavor.
  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil (for cooking) Used for cooking the steak.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a bowl, toss the cubed butternut squash with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread it out on a baking sheet.
  3. Add the whole garlic cloves to the baking sheet with the squash.
Roasting and Cooking
  1. Roast in the oven for about 25-30 minutes or until the squash is tender and slightly caramelized.
  2. While the squash is roasting, heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Season the steak with salt and pepper on both sides.
  3. Add the remaining olive oil to the pan. Place the steak in the pan and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare (or longer if you prefer it more done).
  4. Add the rosemary and thyme to the pan during the last minute of cooking to infuse the flavors.
Assembly
  1. Once cooked to your liking, remove the steak from the pan and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
  2. Assemble your bowls by adding the roasted butternut squash, sliced steak, and any extra herbs or drizzles of olive oil for added flavor.

Notes

For extra sweetness, you can lightly sprinkle some brown sugar or maple syrup on the butternut squash before roasting. To store leftovers, place the components of the dish in airtight containers. The butternut squash and steak can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently before serving again. You can also swap the steak for chicken or tofu if preferred.
