Looking for a flavorful, wholesome dish to elevate your next meal? This simple recipe brings out the natural richness of butternut squash with a delicious garlic butter finish.
✨Butternut Squash Steaks with Garlic Butter
Ingredients
1 large butternut squash with a long and thick neck – peeled, seeded
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces
3 fresh oregano sprigs
4 garlic cloves, crushed
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Himalayan sea salt and freshly ground pepper
Instructions
1. To make the butternut squash steaks: Cut the neck off of the butternut squash and keep the base for another use. Cut the stem from the end and peel. Cut the butternut squash in four slices lengthwise and trim off the outer rounded sides. You’ll get four butternut squash steaks, about 1/2 inch thick.
2. Heat oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Cook the butternut squash steaks, turning every 3 minutes until deeply browned on both sides and fork-tender, about 10 minutes.
3. Add butter, oregano, and garlic to skillet, tilt pan toward you so that butter pools on one side and use a large spoon to continually baste the squash steaks with the butter sauce. Continue cooking, basting continuously, until butter is no longer bubbling and begins to brown, about 1 minute. Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice.
Simple ingredients. Incredible flavor.
