Description

Looking for a hearty bowl that delivers big flavor with minimal fuss? These Steak & Roasted Butternut Squash Bowls are the perfect match. Juicy slices of seasoned steak meet caramelized squash and fragrant garlic, creating a warm, comforting meal that’s just as great for weeknight dinners as it is for hosting friends.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium butternut squash (yields roughly 2 cups once cubed)
  • 1 lb sirloin or ribeye steak
  • 4 cloves garlic, finely minced
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 sprigs rosemary, chopped
  • 2 sprigs thyme, chopped
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Step: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) so it’s hot and ready for roasting.
  2. Step: Peel the squash, remove the seeds, and cut it into evenly sized cubes. Toss the pieces with olive oil, a sprinkle of salt, and a few cracks of pepper. Spread them out on a baking sheet so they roast instead of steam.
  3. Step: Slide the squash into the oven and bake for 25–30 minutes until the edges turn golden and the centers are soft.
  4. Step: While the squash cooks, rub your steak with salt, pepper, rosemary, and thyme. Let it rest on the counter for about 15 minutes so the flavors can sink in and the meat cooks more evenly.
  5. Step: Warm a bit of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steak and cook for 4–5 minutes per side, or until it reaches your preferred doneness. Set it aside for a few minutes before slicing—this keeps it juicy.
  6. Step: Spoon the roasted squash into your bowl first. Lay the sliced steak on top and finish with a sprinkle of fresh minced garlic for a fragrant kick.

Notes

Resting the steak after cooking is non-negotiable to ensure juiciness. Avoid crowding the roasting pan to prevent the squash from steaming.
