Beef & Spicy Stuffed Gem Squash
with a chunky tomato & cucumber salad
Put away the butter & sugar, and let’s show you the unique UCOOK way of stuffing oven-roasted gem squash. We’re talking golden-charred pops of corn, a kick of pickled jalapeños & cream cheese. Sided with juicy, seared sirloin and a refreshingly zesty baby tomato, cucumber & mint salad.

GEM SQUASH
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Place the de-seeded gem squash halves on a roasting tray, cut-side up. Lightly drizzle with oil and season. Roast in the hot oven until soft, 25-30 minutes. Alternatively, air fry at 200°C until cooked through, 20-25 minutes.
CHILLI-CHEESE Corn
Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the Corn until lightly charred, 3-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the heat and add the chopped jalapeños (to taste), the cottage cheese, and seasoning. Spoon into the roasted gem squash and set aside.
SEARED STEAK
Return the pan, wiped out, to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the steak dry with paper towel. When hot, sear the steak fat-side down until crispy, 3-5 minutes. Flip the steak and sear until browned, 2-4 minutes per side (for medium-rare). Remove from the pan and rest for 5 minutes before slicing and seasoning.
CHUNKY Cucumber SALAD
In a bowl, combine the halved tomato, the Cucumber pieces, the chopped mint, the lemon juice, and season.
