Steak With Parmesan Spinach Recipes

REVERSE-SEARED RIB-EYES WITH PARMESAN CREAMED SPINACH AND CHARRED LEMON

Steps:

• Remove the steaks from the refrigerator 1 hour before cooking.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Set a wire rack in a rimmed baking sheet.
• Pat the steaks dry and sprinkle all over with kosher salt. Transfer to the wire rack and bake until the steaks reach your desired internal temperature (120 degrees F for medium-rare; 125 degrees F for medium), 15 to 20 minutes. Remove the steaks from the oven and let rest on the wire rack until ready to sear.
• While the steaks cook, make the creamed spinach: Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a medium saucepan over a medium heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and slightly translucent, about 3 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon water and cook, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the saucepan. Add the minced garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Season with kosher salt.
• Add the spinach, season with kosher salt, and cook, stirring occasionally, until wilted, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the cream and cook, stirring occasionally, until the cream reduces by half, 5 to 6 minutes. Remove from the heat. Stir in the Parmigiano-Reggiano.
• Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Coat the cut sides of the lemon with some of the olive oil and place them cut-side down in the skillet. Cook undisturbed until the cut sides are browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the lemons to a plate and set aside. Reserve the skillet.
• Coat the steaks all over with the remaining olive oil.
• Heat the same cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until it starts to smoke. Add the steaks and cook until browned, 45 seconds to 1 minute on all sides. Remove the skillet from the heat. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter, the thyme and the whole cloves garlic to the skillet. Tilt the skillet towards you so the butter pools at the bottom and, using a spoon, baste the steaks with the melted butter for 1 minute.
• Transfer the steaks to a cutting board and slice immediately. Drizzle with the balsamic, sprinkle with flaky sea salt, and garnish with the charred lemons and fresh mint. Serve with the creamed spinach. Enjoy!
