CREAMED SPINACH
Omaha Steaks Great American Grilling Book
Even people who claim not to like spinach love this steakhouse classic. You can use 2 pounds of fresh spinach in place of the frozen spinach. Discard any wilted leaves and trim tough stems. Rinse well in several changes of cool water; do not dry. Proceed with the recipe as written.
Prep Time: 10 mins

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
