Steak House Creamed Spinach Food

STEAKHOUSE CREAMED SPINACH

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a saucepan or large skillet set over medium-high heat.
• Add spinach to the heated oil and cook for 2 minutes, or until wilted, stirring frequently.I suggest cooking the spinach in 3 batches so it fits comfortably in the skillet, and cooks evenly. Use about a teaspoon of oil with each batch.
• Remove from heat and transfer spinach to a cutting board; once it is cool enough to handle, chop up the spinach. Set aside.
• Wipe down the saucepan.
• Set saucepan over medium heat.
• Add butter to the pan and melt it. Swirl around from time to time to melt nicely and prevent from browning.
• To the melted butter add the onion and cook for 2 minutes, or until just softened.
• Sprinkle flour over the onions; cook and whisk for 2 more minutes, or until lightly browned.
• Add the milk in a slow stream while whisking; whisk until completely combined and the mixture begins to boil and slightly thicken.
• Whisk in salt, pepper, paprika, and nutmeg.
• Reduce heat to low and continue to cook for 5 minutes, whisking frequently.
• Add the chopped spinach; stir to combine and continue to cook for 5 more minutes, stirring frequently, folding in the spinach as you stir. You want to mix and stir to completely combine the spinach with the sauce.
• Remove from heat.
• Taste for salt and pepper, and adjust accordingly.
• Serve.

STEAKHOUSE RIB EYES WITH CREAMED SPINACH

Steps:

• Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 350 degrees F. Place a rack over a rimmed baking sheet. Set aside. Pat the steaks dry with paper towels and season on both sides with salt and pepper.
• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat just until smoking. Place the steaks in the skillet and cook to sear, about 3 minutes. Flip to sear the other side, about 3 minutes. Transfer the steaks to the prepared rack and roast in the middle of the oven until the steaks are medium rare (an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the steaks will register 125 degrees F), about 12 minutes.
• Meanwhile, once you have transferred the steaks to the oven, immediately add the mushrooms to the skillet and season with salt and pepper. Reduce the heat to medium low and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Add parsley and toss to combine. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper. Keep warm.
• Transfer the steaks to a warmed serving platter, tent with foil, and let rest for 10 minutes. Remove any fat on the edges and cut the steaks into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Serve topped with mushrooms and with the spinach on the side.
• Melt the butter over medium-low heat in a medium saucepan. Add the shallot and cook until translucent, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Increase the heat to medium. Whisk in the flour and cook until foaming but not browned, about 1 minute. Whisk in the milk. Add the cayenne and nutmeg and season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil; continue cooking, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens, about 2 minutes.
• Add the spinach and stir to combine. Cook until heated through, 3 to 5 minutes. Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed. Serve immediately.

CREAMED SPINACH

Steps:

• Wash the spinach in several changes of water to get rid of any grit. Drain the spinach but keep some of the water clinging to the leaves. Heat the butter and oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the spinach and garlic. Cook, turning frequently, until the spinach has wilted down evenly. Remove the garlic and put the spinach into a colander and let it drain well. Press out as much liquid as you can from the leaves and chop them coarsely.
• Heat the skillet again over medium-high heat and add the cream and nutmeg; cook until it reduces a bit, about 5 minutes. Add the spinach and parmesan and season with salt and pepper. Cook until the spinach is hot, about 5 more minutes. Serve immediately.
