Seared Flank Steak with Spice-Roasted Acorn Squash

Ingredients

• 1 small acorn squash
• 2 tbsp. olive oil
• 2 tbsp. brown sugar
• ¼ tsp. ground cinnamon
• .13 tsp. cayenne pepper
• Kosher salt and pepper
• 1½ lb. flank steak
• 1 tsp. ground cumin

Directions

1. Heat oven to 425°F. On a rimmed baking sheet, toss the squash and 1 Tbsp oil. Arrange in an even layer and sprinkle with the sugar, cinnamon, cayenne, 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper. Roast until golden brown and tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, heat the remaining Tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the steak with the cumin and 1/4 tsp each salt and pepper and cook to desired doneness, 5 to 6 minutes per side for medium-rare. Let rest at least 5 minutes before slicing. Serve with the squash.
