Steak Spinach & Potatoes


Ingredients
  1. New York Beef Steak (bone in)
  2. Salt, Pepper, Olive Oil
  3. Baby spinach leaves
  4. Olive Oil, Red Pepper Flakes (or Chipotle)
  5. Garlic, (chopped)
  6. Potatoes (quartered)
  7. Salt, Pepper, Nutmeg, Thyme
  8. Half n' Half milk

Procedure


Preheat oven to 300.

Salt and generously Pepper the Steak on both sides and let sit at room temperature. Take your time.

In a skillet on super low (or double boiler) heat combine Olive Oil, Garlic and Flakes/Chipotle. The garlic will soften but should never brown. Take your time.

Boil Potatoes in Salt water until done (20 minutes), drain and let dry. Add Salt, Pepper, Nutmeg and Thyme and Milk. With a fork, break up the potatoes and mix everything. Do not overmix. Keep warm.

Rub olive oil all over the Steaks. Add to a hot skillet on super high heat and briefly brown, then turn over and put into the oven. Depending on the thickness of the steak, this can take up to 30 minutes until ready.

Turn up the heat on the Garlic Olive Oil skillet and add Spinach leaves, mix until barely wilted. Do not overcook.

Optional: Remove Spinach leaves from skillet. Add a bit of juices from the Steak skillet. Mix well and reduce if necessary.

Arrange Potatoes! Steak! and Spinach! on the plate. Spoon over some sauce and serve.

  1. anything tastes good with this classic: red wine, beer, or a Castro fizz. But I think I would stick with red wine.
