- Heat a large pot or frying pan and brown the beef for a minute or two. Add the garlic, onion and ginger and fry for another minute, stirring.
- Now add the rest of the ingredients, except the sesame oil.
- Cook on a low heat for about 15-20 minutes or until reduced and sticky.
- Heat a frying pan with the butter on a low heat, cook the onions for about 10-15 minutes, then add the sugar and cook for another 5 minutes or until soft and golden. Season with salt, to taste.
- Scoop some of the butternut flesh out (perfect to use in a salad) and fill the butternut halves with the meat mixture. Top with caramelised onion and cheese.
- Bake in the oven for 10 minutes or until heated and the cheese has melted.
