AuthorRachelCategoryLunch + DinnerI just love butternut squash, I find it so warming. If you've never cooked it, it tastes similar to a sweet potato but with the texture of a squash. Disclaimer: If you don't want to lose a finger, I recommend putting the whole squash in the microwave to soften it up first. They can be pretty difficult to cut through because of their tough skin and firm texture. This recipe is the perfect dinner to make during your luteal phase because there is tons of protein and iron (mmm, steak) and fiber from the vegetables. Nutritional yeast satisfies that craving for the cheesy taste we know and love without the dairy.
For more flavor, you can add garlic and your favorite herbs to the steak.
// Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to three days.
Preheat the oven to 375ºF (191ºC) and line a baking sheet with parchment
paper.
Toss the butternut squash in olive oil and sea salt. Spread the squash evenly
across the baking sheet and cook for 20 minutes.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the steak on both sides for 1 to 2
minutes. Remove the steak from the skillet, top with fresh thyme, and add to the
baking sheet with the butternut squash. Return to the oven for an additional 10
minutes, or until the steak is cooked to your liking.
Meanwhile, add the broccoli to a pan with enough water to cover halfway. Steam for about 3 to 5 minutes or until tender. Drain any excess water and transfer to a plate alongside the squash and steak.
Top the broccoli with nutritional yeast and enjoy!
