Cooking Time: 35 minutesPreperation Time: 15 minutes

Preparing the Steak

1. Bring the steak to room temperature before cooking to ensure even cooking. 2. Season the steak generously with salt and pepper. If available, a pinch of your favorite steak seasoning can be added for extra flavor. 3. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Once hot, place the steak in the skillet, searing each side for about 4-5 minutes for a medium-rare finish, or adjust according to preference. 4. Let the steak rest for a few minutes before slicing to let the juices redistribute.

Preparing the Squash

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). 2. Cut the squash into cubes or slices, ensuring they are of even size for uniform cooking. 3. Toss the squash in a light drizzle of olive oil, and season with salt, pepper, and any herbs or spices you prefer. 4. Spread the squash evenly on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized on the edges. 5. For a grilled variation, squash slices can be grilled over medium heat until tender and grill marks appear, turning occasionally.

Serving

Arrange the sliced steak and roasted (or grilled) squash on a plate. Garnish with a sprinkle of microgreens for a fresh contrast. For an extra touch of flavor, a drizzle of balsamic reduction or your favorite steak sauce can be added just before serving.
