Ingredients
- For the creamed spinach:
- 4 tablespoons salted butter
- 1/2 onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 2 (12-ounce) bags baby spinach
- 4 ounces cream cheese, cut into pieces
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- black pepper, to taste
- ground nutmeg, to taste
- For the steaks:
- 1/4 cup tri-color peppercorns
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 (2-pound) tri-tip or sirloin steak, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 tablespoons salted butter
- 2 large rosemary sprigs, plus more, to taste, for garnish
- 2 cloves garlic, crushed
Directions
Step 1 -In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 4 tablespoons of the butter.
Step 2 -Add the onion to the melted butter and cook, stirring occasionally, until it is soft but not browned, about 5 minutes.
Step 3 -Add 2 of the chopped garlic cloves to the onion mixture and cook, about 30 seconds.
Step 4 -Add handfuls of the spinach to the onion mixture, stirring after each addition. Cook until the spinach has wilted, about 12 minutes.
Step 5 -Carefully push the spinach to one side of the skillet.
Step 6 -Add the cream cheese on the opposite side of the skillet and smash it with the back of a spoon until it has mostly melted, about 2 minutes.
Step 7 -Stir the melted cream cheese into the spinach.
Step 8 -Add 1/4 teaspoon of the salt, the black pepper, and the nutmeg to the spinach mixture and stir to combine. Set it aside and keep warm.
Step 9 -In a resealable plastic bag, add the peppercorns and the sugar, seal the bag, and use a rolling pin to crush the mixture.
Step 10 -Season the steak with the remaining salt.
Step 11 -Coat both sides of the steak with the crushed peppercorn mixture, pressing to adhere.
Step 12 -In a large cast-iron skillet over high heat, heat the olive oil, swirling to coat the bottom.
Step 13 -Add the seasoned steak to the heated olive oil and cook until it reaches an internal temperature between 105-110 degrees F and is well-browned, about 6 minutes per side.
Step 14 -Add the remaining butter, 2 of the rosemary sprigs, and the remaining crushed garlic cloves to the skillet and cook until the butter has melted.
Step 15 -Tilt the skillet and spoon the melted butter mixture over the steak.
Step 16 -Cook until the steak reaches an internal temperature of 115 degrees F for medium-rare, about 5 minutes.
Step 17 -Transfer the cooked steak to a cutting board. Cover with foil and let it rest until it reaches an internal temperature of 135 degrees F for medium-rare, about 10 minutes.
Step 18 -Slice the steak.
Step 19 -Serve the steak slices with the creamed spinach, garnished with the extra rosemary sprigs.
