Tomahawk Steak And Sauteed Spinach Recipes

GRILLED TOMAHAWK STEAKS WITH RESTING BUTTER

Steps:

• Remove the steaks from the refrigerator, then sprinkle on both sides generously with salt and place on a wire rack over a sheet pan. Allow to come up to room temperature, about 2 hours.
• Preheat a grill for two-zone cooking with high heat on one side and no heat on the other side. (The overall grill temperature should be 325 degrees F on the grill grates.)
• Using a paper towel, wipe off any excess moisture and salt from the steaks.
• Start the steaks on the indirect heat side of the grill. (The target grill temperature should be around 250 degrees F.) Cover and grill the steaks, flipping once, until the internal temperature reads 125 degrees F (10 degrees away from finished target temp), about 45 minutes to an hour.
• Meanwhile, combine the butter, thyme, Worcestershire, a pinch of salt and some pepper in a small bowl. Spread one spoonful of the butter directly on your serving board underneath where each steak will be placed. Do this before you get your steaks on the grill so that when they come off, you can set each steak on a spoonful of the butter. Set aside the remaining butter for the top of the grilled steaks.
• Move the steaks to the direct-heat side of the grill and sear until the internal temperature reads 135 degrees F, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Place the steaks on the resting butter and use a fork to spread the remaining butter over the steaks. Let the steaks rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

TOMAHAWK STEAK AND SAUTEED SPINACH

Steps:

• Heat the broiler to high heat. Sprinkle the steak with salt and pepper, and then place under the broiler until desired doneness is reached, about 8 minutes per side.
• Meanwhile, heat some olive oil in a saute pan until hot. Saute the garlic, and then add the spinach, saute until just wilted, and season with salt and pepper. Serve alongside the steak.

NEELY'S SAUTEED SPINACH

Steps:

• Heat a medium skillet over medium high heat. Add the chopped bacon and render until almost crisp. Add garlic and cook until fragrant. Add the spinach a little at a time. Toss with tongs until wilted. Add balsamic vinegar. Season with salt and pepper.

FRIED SPINACH

Steps:

• In a large heavy saucepan or deep-fat fryer, heat 3 or 4 inches of oil to 350/F. Preheat the oven to very low and put a paper towel-lined roasting pan in it to warm. Standing well away from the top of the pot in case the oil spatters, take a handful of leaves at a time and throw them into the hot oil for about 30 seconds, or until crisp and bright green. Remove with a skimmer or tongs to the towel-lined pan and sprinkle with a little salt and pepper. Fry the remaining spinach in the same way. (The spinach can be kept at room temperature after frying for up to 2 hours, then reheated in a low oven just before serving.)
