Instructions

  1. Season the steaks on both sides with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat a large frying pan over high heat. It's ready when it starts to smoke. Add the steaks. Cook for about 1 minute or until a crust develops.
  3. Flip and cook the other side. Add the butter, when melted baste the steaks with butter using a spoon. Cook to your liking (see tip below).
  4. Once done, remove the steaks from the pan, and add the spinach to the same pan.
  5. Cook the spinach until it wilts down, add the heavy cream and season with salt and pepper. Cook longer for the liquid to evaporate a bit, or leave it more creamy if you wish.
  6. Serve the steaks with the creamy spinach.

Tips

This recipe is extremely adaptable to your taste and preferences. Feel free to substitute steak with pork chops, chicken, or even fish.

If you're not a fan of spinach, replace it with mushrooms, bell peppers, or asparagus.

Cooking steak on the stove

The most accurate way to cook steak perfectly is to use a meat thermometer. Medium-rare 130ยฐF to 135ยฐF (55ยฐC to 60ยฐC), medium 140ยฐF to 145ยฐF (60ยฐC to 65ยฐC), medium-well 150ยฐF to 155ยฐF (65ยฐC to 70ยฐC), well done 160ยฐF and above (70ยฐC and above).

Remove steak from the pan, grill, or oven when it is a few degrees below the desired temperature. It will continue cooking while it rests. Always let your steak rest for 5 minutes before eating.
