Even when you're eating alone, succulent, sliced Americana can be yours any night of the weekÂenhanced by a flavorful blue-cheese riff on creamed spinach. Ingredients:
1 (1-inch-thick) boneless beef top loin (strip) steak (1/2 pound) |
1 teaspoon olive oil |
1 teaspoon unsalted butter |
1 small shallot, thinly sliced |
1/4 cup heavy cream |
1 tablespoon saga blue cheese |
5 ounces baby spinach (10 cups) |
1 1/2 teaspoon fresh lemon juice |
Directions:
1. Pat steak dry and sprinkle all over with a scant 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper.
2. Heat oil and butter in a 10-inch heavy skillet over medium heat until foam subsides, then cook steak, turning once, until well browned, 7 to 10 minutes total for medium-rare. Transfer to a cutting board and let stand, uncovered, 10 minutes.
3. Add shallot to skillet and cook, stirring, until softened, about 3 minutes. Add cream, blue cheese, and spinach and cook, scraping up brown bits from bottom of skillet and turning spinach with tongs, until spinach is wilted, about 2 minutes.
4. Stir in lemon juice and salt and pepper to taste. Thinly slice steak and serve with spinach.
