Ingredients

  • 2 steaks we had NY strip steaks
  • ½ butternut squash medium
  • ½ zucchini/courgette large or 1 small

For chimichurri sauce

  • ½ cup parsley leaves
  • ½ cup cilantro/coriander leaves
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano (or 1 tablespoon fresh)
  • 1 ½ tablespoon red wine vinegar
  • ½ tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 dash salt
  • 1 dash red pepper flakes
  • ¼ cup olive oil

Instructions

  • Pat the steaks dry then lightly season with some salt and pepper and drizzle a little olive oil over and rub it all in. Do the same on both sides.
  • Cut the butternut squash into round slices about ½in/1cm thick - don't bother peeling - and pre-cook either by steaming or putting in the microwave (put in a microwaveable dish with a little water for a minute or two then test and turn as needed) until just tender and cooked.
  • Cut the zucchini into thick-ish slices (on the diagonal can be good to make them easier to handle on the grill).

For the chimichurri sauce

  • Make the sauce by blending everything apart from the oil in a blender/food processor until pretty finely chopped but not a paste, or chop finely by hand. Add the oil and pulse to combine.

To finish the dish

  • Grill the squash, zucchini and steaks on the grill until the vegetables are lightly charred and the steaks are cooked to your taste.
  • Serve with the chimichurri sauce drizzled over the top.
