Directions
1.To make the butternut squash steaks: Cut the neck off of the butternut squash and keep the base for another use. Cut the stem from the end and peel. Cut thebutternut squash in four slices lengthwise and trim off the outer rounded sides. You’ll get four butternut squash steaks, about 1/2 inch thick.
2. Heat oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Cook the butternut squash steaks, turning every 3 minutes until deeply browned on both sides and fork-tender, about 10 minutes.
3. Add butter, oregano, and garlic to skillet, tilt pan toward you so that butter pools on one side, and use a large spoon to continually baste the squash steaks with the butter sauce. Continue cooking, basting continuously, until butter is no longer bubbling and begins to brown, about 1 minute. Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice.
4.Remove from the skillet, transfer butternut squash steaks to plates and spoon the garlic butter sauce over. Sprinkle with coarse salt and fresh cracked pepper if you like. Enjoy!❤️

How to keep the butternut squash steak leftovers?
You can keep the butternut squash steaks for up to 3 days in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Reheat gently on the stove with a little oil.

This is seriously delicious. Tastes like a dish that should be served in a very fine dinning restaurant! Rich, melt in your mouth and exploding with flavour! The first time that I made it I followed the recipe exactly. Subsequent times, I cut the squash into circles so none woul be lost by trying to cut off curves. I also used dried oregano and it came out just as delicious!

I would make this recipe again in a heartbeat. So easy and delicious, even with dried oregano vs fresh.
