1smallbutternut squash, peeled and seeded and cut into 1- pieces.
1tablespoonolive oil
1/4teaspoonsalt
1/4teaspooncoarsely ground black pepper
1/4teaspoonturmeric
1thinsteak,, (approximately 1/4 to 1/2- thick (Chuck, New York Strip, or Hanger)
1/2teaspooncreole seasoning, (or use salt and pepper)
1teaspoonsalted butter
1egg
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
Place the cubes of squash on a sheet pan and drizzle with the olive oil, salt, pepper, and turmeric. Toss well to coat. Arrange the squash in one layer and roast for 20-25 minutes, until the squash is tender.
Heat the grill to high.
Season the steak with the creole seasoning or use a pinch of salt and a pinch of pepper.
Place the steak on the grill and cook until slightly charred, about 2 to 2 1/2 minutes. (Because the steak is thin it will cook very quickly).
Turn the steak over and continue to grill 2 to 2 1/2 minutes.
Transfer the steak to a cutting board or plate and cover. Let rest for at least 10 minutes. (If you want to cook the steak in a pan on the stove, see notes.)
Place a frying pan over medium heat. Add the butter and swirl the pan as the butter melts to evenly coat the bottom of the pan.
When the butter begins to sizzle, crack the egg into a cup and gently tip it into the skillet or crack the egg directly into the skillet.
Let the egg gently cook without touching it. In a few minutes, the whites will start to set. Flip the egg over using a spatula and cook for a minute on the other side. Remove egg from the pan.
To assemble: Place a cup of the roasted butternut squash on a serving plate, top with the steak and the fried egg.
Notes
If you want to cook the steak on the stovetop, place the steak on the skillet with a tablespoon of oil and cook for 2 minutes per side. Remove steak and place on a cutting board and let stand for 10 minutes, covered.
