Creamed Spinach Steak House Style Recipes

CREAMED SPINACH

Steps:

• Combine milk, spinach liquid and garlic in a 1-quart microwave-safe measuring cup or small bowl covered with a saucer, and microwave (or heat slowly in a medium saucepan) until very hot and steamy. Let stand for 5 to 10 minutes to soften garlic.
• Melt butter in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Whisk in flour. Add hot milk mixture all at once, then whisk until smooth. Stir in spinach; cook until sauce is thick and bubbly and spinach is tender but still green, about 5 minutes. Stir in cheese, nutmeg, and a generous sprinkling of salt and pepper. Serve hot.

STEAKHOUSE STYLE CREAMED SPINACH

Steps:

• Place the spinach in a colander and rinse with cold water (even if it's bagged and says it's pre-washed); allow to drain slightly.
• Meanwhile, set a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the wet spinach to it. Season with salt and cover with a lid. Stir occasionally and cook until wilted 2-3 minutes (you can also steam in a microwave, if desired).
• Transfer steamed spinach into a colander set in a sink and allow it to sit until it's cool to the touch. Then, grab handfuls of spinach and squeeze as much water as you can from it (as if you were packing a snowball). Transfer balls of spinach to a cutting board and roughly chop.
• Melt butter over medium heat in the same large skillet, then add minced garlic and saute until lightly golden, 1-2 minutes. Add the Xanthan gum or flour and stir until pale and smooth, about a minute. Whisk in half & half and cream in a steady stream, reduce heat to low, and cook until the sauce is smooth and slightly reduced, about 2 minutes.
• Add the spinach back to the pan. Toss to combine with the cream sauce, add the pinch of red pepper flakes (if using) and dust with a grating of fresh nutmeg. Add grated cheese and stir to incorporate. Taste for seasoning, adding more salt and pepper if desired. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a saucepan or large skillet set over medium-high heat.
• Add spinach to the heated oil and cook for 2 minutes, or until wilted, stirring frequently.I suggest cooking the spinach in 3 batches so it fits comfortably in the skillet, and cooks evenly. Use about a teaspoon of oil with each batch.
• Remove from heat and transfer spinach to a cutting board; once it is cool enough to handle, chop up the spinach. Set aside.
• Wipe down the saucepan.
• Set saucepan over medium heat.
• Add butter to the pan and melt it. Swirl around from time to time to melt nicely and prevent from browning.
• To the melted butter add the onion and cook for 2 minutes, or until just softened.
• Sprinkle flour over the onions; cook and whisk for 2 more minutes, or until lightly browned.
• Add the milk in a slow stream while whisking; whisk until completely combined and the mixture begins to boil and slightly thicken.
• Whisk in salt, pepper, paprika, and nutmeg.
• Reduce heat to low and continue to cook for 5 minutes, whisking frequently.
• Add the chopped spinach; stir to combine and continue to cook for 5 more minutes, stirring frequently, folding in the spinach as you stir. You want to mix and stir to completely combine the spinach with the sauce.
