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.

STEAKHOUSE CREAMED SPINACH

Steps:

• Fill a large pot with enough salted water to cover the spinach and bring it to a boil. Add the spinach to your boiling water and cook until beginning to wilt, about 1 minute. Drain immediately into a colander and rinse with cold water until the spinach is cool to the touch. Set aside.
• Bring a large skillet or non-stick frying pan to medium-low heat with the butter. Once the butter melts, add the onion and garlic and saute until softened and the onion is translucent and fragrant or about 8-10 minutes.
• Add the seasoning (salt, ground black pepper, and ground nutmeg) and stir into the sauteed onion and garlic, then add the all-purpose flour and stir it in as well. Cook the flour paste for 2-3 minutes to cook off the flour taste, then slowly whisk in the half & half and bring it to a boil.
• Reduce heat to low and stir in the mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Stir until all of the cheese is melted, smooth, and thickened, about 5 minutes.
• Squeeze handfuls of the drained and rinsed spinach until you've squeezed as much excess liquid out as possible. Transfer to a cutting board then roughly chop all the spinach to strips that are roughly 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch in width.
• Add the Parmesan cheese and chopped spinach to the cream sauce, stir to break up the spinach and melt the Parmesan. Once the spinach is heated to your satisfaction remove from heat and serve immediately.
