Butter-Basted Steak & Scallion Gremolata
with Whipped Ricotta, Chipotle Syrup, Roasted Squash & Brussels
- Milk
- Tree Nuts
Hearty fall ingredients (hello, delicata squash, Brussels sprouts, pecans, and maple syrup!) transform this steak dinner into an awesome autumnal experience. The foundation is an especially tender, juicy steak, pan-seared and then basted with butter until a golden crust forms. Over top is a scallion gremolata, which adds aromatic freshness to the steak. Alongside come those fall flavors: roasted delicata squash and Brussels sprouts on a bed of lemony whipped ricotta, topped with delicately smoky chipotle maple syrup and pecans.

Cooking Steps
• Adjust rack to top position (top and middle for 4 servings) and preheat oven to 450 degrees. Wash and dry produce. • Halve squash lengthwise; scoop out and discard seeds with a spoon. Cut squash crosswise into ¾-inch-thick slices. Trim and halve Brussels sprouts. Zest and quarter lemon. Roughly chop pecans.
• In a small microwave-safe bowl, add 2 TBSP butter (4 TBSP for 4 servings). Microwave until completely melted, 45-60 seconds. • Toss squash and Brussels sprouts on a baking sheet with melted butter, garlic powder, and a big pinch of salt and pepper. Roast on top rack, flipping veggies halfway through, until golden brown and tender, 20-25 minutes. (For 4, divide between 2 sheets; roast on top and middle racks, swapping rack positions halfway through.)
• While veggies roast, in a second small microwave-safe bowl, combine maple syrup, honey, ⅛ tsp chipotle powder (¼ tsp for 4 servings—be sure to measure; we sent more), and a pinch of salt. Microwave for 20 seconds, then set aside.
• Trim and mince scallions. Peel and mince garlic. • In a third small bowl, combine scallions, garlic, half the lemon zest (all for 4 servings), 1 TBSP olive oil (2 TBSP for 4), and a pinch of salt and pepper.
• Pat steak* dry with paper towels; season generously all over with salt and pepper. • Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add steak and cook until browned on one side, 4-6 minutes. Flip steak; reduce heat to medium low and cook for 2 minutes more. • Add 4 TBSP butter (6 TBSP for 4 servings) and cook until foamy. Tilt pan slightly towards the handle and spoon melted butter over steak, repeating often, until steak reaches desired doneness, 2-4 minutes. • Transfer steak to a cutting board. Let rest for at least 5 minutes.
• While steak cooks, in a medium bowl, whisk together ricotta, crème fraîche, a squeeze of lemon juice (two squeezes for 4 servings), 1 TBSP olive oil (2 TBSP for 4), and a pinch of salt and pepper until light and fluffy. Taste and season with more salt and pepper if desired.
• Thinly slice steak against the grain. • Microwave chipotle syrup for 15 seconds. • Spread whipped ricotta on one side of each plate. Pile roasted veggies over top; drizzle with as much chipotle syrup as you like. Garnish with pecans. Place steak next to veggies; top with 1 TBSP pan juices (2 TBSP for 4 servings) and gremolata. Serve with remaining lemon wedges on the side.
Steak is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 145°.

Reviews from our home cooks
Phenomenal. This had a lot of prep work but it was so delicious and filling. Great flavors. Feels like a good heavy meal but light because of the refreshing minced scallion oil and the whipped ricotta. I would definitely get this again.
The squash and brussels sprouts were great with the whipped ricotta and the honey syrup sauce. This one would be good with any protein.
This was a really delicious meal. The squash and Brussel sprouts combo was a treat and the ricotta whip was a nice bright addition. Good job!
I made this meal when my son had a friend over and it was enough to get his friend's mom to start ordering HelloFresh! The boys didn't love the ricotta but they said the brussels sprouts tasted like candy with that maple glaze.
This was really good and the portion sizes were great - we actually had leftovers! YAY! I usually do not like squash very much, but this was quite tasty, especially with the sauce.
This was unusual but loved all the elevated flavors! Never had a delicata squash before & it was awesome!! Butter basted steak is the best!!!
Mmmmmmmmm! I already love ricotta but pair it with maple syrup, squash, Brussels sprouts and steak and I think I found my perfect meal. I did forget the pecans 😩 oops
We had this last year and was sad we had to wait a whole year for it again. We are sad it only comes on the menu one time. We would love to see it more than once a year! This is hands down the best steak dinner you have. The veggies are the ricotta with the maple glaze, it's absolutely perfect. It brings the whole dish together.
I liked the veggie combo with the cheese and sweet and spicy sauce. The steak was just ok but I understand you need to balance the cost and scallions are inexpensive. A spice mix to coat the meat would be nice.
This was sensation of veggies, steak, and cheese and I love love this one. You don't think this would go together but it does, and you may want to use a big extra sharp knife it's a organic squash.
