If all the ingredients do not fit at once, cook the steak first and cover it to keep warm while you cook the potatoes.

*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.
