Today we're learning how to make a very special steak! Chef Mikhail Apelsinov, of Insignia Prime Steak & Sushi, shows News 12's Lily Stolzberg how to make a 40-oz Australian Wagyu Tomahawk rib eye with mashed potatoes and creamed spinach.
Recipe Ingredients:
1 40 oz. Australian Wagyu Tomahawk rib eye (serves 2)
2 Pounds Idaho potatoes
2 Tablespoons butter
1 Cup half and half
Salt and white pepper to taste
2 Pounds fresh spinach, blanched, squeezed and roughly chopped
2 Tablespoons butter
2 Tablespoons flour
1/2 Cup heavy cream
3/4 Cup chicken stock or broth
Salt and ground pepper
Directions:
- Bring a pot of salted water to a boil add potatoes and cook until tender. Drain the liquid.
- Heat half and half and butter in a small sauce pan. Add potatoes and blend with potato masher until smooth.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Melt the butter in a saucepan. Stir in the flour and continue to cook until the paste bubbles a bit. Add the hot milk, stir as the sauce thickens. Bring it to a boil and cook, 2 to 3 minutes more on low heat. Add spinach and continue to cook for 5-7 minutes longer. Add salt and pepper to taste.
