Steakhouse Rib Eyes with Creamed Spinach
- 2 bone-in rib eye steaks, each about 1 1/2 inches thick
- Coarse kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2 teaspoons pure olive oil
- 8 ounces mushrooms, such as cremini or white button, sliced
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
- Classic Creamed Spinach (recipe follows)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 shallot, very finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 cup 2-percent or whole milk
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
- Coarse kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2 packages (10 ounces each) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and well drained
- 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.
