Make
- Preheat oven to 400F (204C) degrees.
- Optional step - Sear steak on stovetop first for prettier coloring: Preheat an oven-safe pan like a skillet over medium-high heat. Add steak(s) and sear on both sides for 2 minutes. If you skip this step, just place steak onto a sheet pan.
- Transfer to oven and roast for 6 to 13 minutes. If you seared steak first, it'll take less time to cook, and if you want it rarer, also pull it out sooner.
- Whisk together honey, balsamic vinegar, second half of olive oil. Salt and pepper to taste.
- Toss with butternut squash, apples, mixed greens, and walnuts. {If you roasted enough butternut squash for tomorrow's meal, remember to save some}
- Enjoy steak covered with romesco sauce and butternut squash salad on the side!
