Steak or Squash?

Griddled Butternut squash. 
Another veggie that I fall into s rut with.  I either puree it, roast it or make it into soup.  Then I had an idea.  What about butternut squash steaks?  Hmm. Sounds weird, but bare with me.  Peel a couple of squash.  Then slice from the stalk end in thick slices.  When you get to the bulb, just remove the core in the affected slices, or create little mini bowls from the bulb ends. (I stuffed mine and baked them). 

Steam for about 15 to 20 mins until the squash becomes translucent and soft ish.  Do not over cook as the griddle will do some more cooking for you.  Drain and dry.  Heat s ridged griddle pan to med high heat.  (beware as the sugar content in the squash may burn, which affects the appearance but not the taste). Place on the dry griddle pan and brush with a little garlic oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper or you could use those spice rubs that are intended for meat.  Cook for about 10 mins a side until they have charred marks on both sides and are cooked through.  I think I may have found a new favourite way with squash as this is meaty and chunky and has a smoked flavour from the griddle pan.
