Directions
- Heat the oven to 450°F and line a baking sheet.
- Trim, peel, and dice half a small butternut squash; spread on the sheet with a light coat of oil and a pinch of salt, then roast until tender and golden, about 20 minutes, stirring halfway.
- Pat the strip steak dry, season both sides with salt, and heat a skillet over medium-high with a little oil.
- Sear the steak until browned and cooked to your preferred doneness, about 2–5 minutes per side; transfer to a plate and let rest for about 5 minutes.
- Drizzle the roasted squash with honey and hot sauce, then toss to coat and let it cool slightly.
- Zest and juice a lemon into a bowl; add minced shallot, olive oil, salt, and pepper, and whisk to make a dressing.
- Add arugula and the warm honeyed squash to the dressing; toss gently to combine.
- Thinly slice the steak against the grain and arrange with the salad on serving plates.
Two tips
- Make ahead: roast the squash up to 1 day in advance and rewarm slightly before tossing with the greens.
- Serving idea: if you don’t want extra heat, substitute a pinch of red pepper flakes or omit the hot sauce.
