In a large mixing bowl, toss delicata squash and oil. Sprinkle in cornmeal, starch, and spices and toss to evenly coat.
On a parchment-lined sheet pan, lay out squash in a single layer. Bake in a 450-degree oven for 20-30 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Serve with cilantro crema, shredded cabbage, pickled red onions on your favorite tortilla.
For pickled onions: Consider purchasing pre-prepped at the grocery store or following this recipe for easy advance preparation.
For crema: Combine all ingredients in a blender, and blend on high for 30 seconds until cilantro is incorporated. May also consider mixing avocado mayonnaise with a few drops of sriracha for another easy crema.
For steak: Liberally salt and pepper steak. Heat a large (10-12") cast-iron skillet or stainless steel saute pan over medium-high heat. Add ghee and melt, use care to avoid burning. Add steak to pan and cook for at least 3-4 minutes on each side.
Spoon melted butter over steak during the last 2 minutes of cooking time. Internal temperature from the steak's thickest portion should reach at least 125 degrees.
Transfer steak to a plate, tent with foil to keep warm. Allow to rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
For carbohydrate conscious: Reduce squash by 1/2 to 6 oz total, replace cornmeal with coconut flour and delete arrowroot powder. Substitutions will result in 7 net carbohydrate grams per serving.
