Grass-Fed Sirloin Steak with Spinach
- 4 (8-ounce) grass-fed sirloin steaks
- Kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, or enough to coat the bottom of the pan
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 garlic cloves, crushed and left in skins
- 8 sprigs fresh thyme
- 2 medium shallots, very finely chopped
- 1 pound spinach, cleaned
- Put a large, heavy-bottomed skillet over high heat.
- While the pan is heating, season the steaks with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Add the oil, making sure there is enough to coat the bottom of the pan.
- Add the steaks and sear on 1 side for 2 minutes.
- Turn them over and sear on the other side for 3 minutes.
- (This will cook the steaks to medium-rare.)
- Lower the heat and add 3 tablespoons of the butter, the garlic, and thyme.
- Baste steaks with the melted butter on both sides for 1 more minute.
- Remove the steaks from the pan and let them rest for 2 minutes.
- While the steaks are resting, remove the garlic and thyme from the pan and wipe out the excess butter.
- Add the remaining tablespoon of butter and let it brown over high heat.
- Add the shallots and cook for a few seconds.
- Add the spinach and saute, stirring vigorously, until it is wilted, about 1 minute.
- Put a bed of spinach onto each of 4 plates, place a steak on top, and serve.
