If all the ingredients do not fit at once, cook the steak first and cover it to keep warm while you cook the potatoes. The cooking time on an outdoor grill may vary slightly from a grill pan so adjust the recipe accordingly.

*Look for a 20 ounce bag of fresh, already peeled and cubed squash from your supermarket. If you can’t find any, cut a medium squash in half lengthwise and place cut-side down on prepared baking sheet; roast until tender, about 45 minutes. Scoop squash out of skin into a large bowl, mash with a spoon and proceed as above.

Alternatively, you can microwave cubed squash, covered, in a shallow microwave-safe baking dish or container with 1/4 cup of water, until cooked through; mash squash in a bowl.
