Recipe information

  • Yield

    2 servings

Ingredients

1 (12-ounce) boneless strip steak
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons Horseradish-Pumpkin Seed Pesto, plus more

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Heat a dry medium skillet, preferably cast iron, over medium-high. Season steak all over with salt and pepper and cook, turning several times, until lightly charred, 7–9 minutes for medium-rare. Transfer to a cutting board; let rest at least 15 minutes before thinly slicing against the grain.

    Step 2

    Meanwhile, toss lentils with 2 Tbsp. pesto in a small bowl and season with salt.

    Step 3

    Divide lentil mixture between shallow bowls or plates and top with steak and some feta and roasted squash. Finish with a handful of almonds. Serve with more pesto alongside.
