Ingredients
- 164.7 g beef brisket
- 10 g berbere seasoning
- 15 g garlic
- 50.2 g red lentil pasta
- 439.5 g kabocha squash
- 12 g pecans
- 0.4667 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
Method
- 01Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- 02Toss the cubed kabocha squash with half of the olive oil (approx. 6.7 g), a pinch of salt, and black pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 20 to 25 minutes until tender and browned at the edges.
- 03Rub the sliced beef brisket evenly with the Berbere spice blend, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt.
- 04Heat the remaining olive oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned beef brisket and sear for 3 to 4 minutes per side until deeply browned and cooked to an internal temperature of at least 145°F (63°C). Transfer beef to a cutting board and rest for 3 minutes.
- 05While squash and beef cook, bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add red lentil pasta and cook for 6 to 8 minutes until al dente. Drain well and toss lightly with a drizzle of olive oil.
- 06Plate a base of red lentil pasta, arrange sliced Berbere beef brisket and roasted kabocha squash alongside, and garnish with chopped toasted pecans.
