Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 large butternut squash (about 3 lb.), preferably one with a long thick neck
1 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
2 Tbsp. unsalted butter, cut into pieces
6 sage leaves
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Cut the neck off of squash; reserve base for another use. Trim the stem off the neck then peel. Resting neck on cut base, cut in half lengthwise, creating two lobes. Trim off outer rounded side of each piece to create two 3/4"-thick steaks (about 6 oz. per steak); reserve trimmed off sides for another use.
  • Heat oil in a large heavy skillet over medium. Cook squash steaks, turning every 3 minutes, until deeply browned on both sides and fork-tender, about 15 minutes. Add butter, sage, and garlic to skillet, tilt pan toward you so that butter pools on one side, and use a large spoon to continually baste steaks with butter. Cook, basting, until butter is no longer bubbling, smells nutty, and is beginning to brown, about 1 minute. Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice; season with salt and pepper.
  • Transfer squash steaks to plates and spoon sauce over.

Tips:

  • Choose the right butternut squash: Look for a squash that is heavy for its size and has a deep, even color. Avoid squash with bruises or soft spots.
  • Roast the butternut squash until it is tender and slightly caramelized. This will bring out its natural sweetness and flavor.
  • Use a good quality brown butter. Making your own brown butter is easy and only takes a few minutes. It adds a rich, nutty flavor to the dish.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the sage. The leaves should be able to sizzle and crisp up without steaming.
  • Serve the butternut squash bake immediately. It is best enjoyed warm and fresh out of the oven.
