Instructions
Watch how to make this recipe.
Heat a cast-iron skillet over high heat until very hot.
Sprinkle both sides of the steak with salt and pepper.
Place the steak in the hot skillet, reduce the heat to medium and sear until well browned, about 4 minutes. Flip the steak and cook until medium/medium-rare, about 6 more minutes. Set aside, loosely covered with foil, and let rest before slicing.
Heat the oil and sliced garlic in a Dutch oven over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the garlic is golden brown and crispy.
Remove the garlic and set aside on a paper towel to drain.
Add the crushed red pepper and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Add the spinach and stir to combine with the oil. Cover and let cook over medium-high heat until the spinach is wilted but still bright in color, about 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and toss with the garlic chips.
Mix the mayonnaise, buttermilk, blue cheese, dill, mustard and pepper together in a bowl and set aside. Adjust the seasoning if necessary.
For the sandwich build: Slice the rested steak against the grain into 1/4-inch slices, removing any non-rendered fat.
Place the steak slices on the bottom bun, top with the spinach and schmear the top bun with buttermilk blue cheese dressing.
Recommended wine: Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir
Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Pinot Noir are great choices for Steak. After all, beef and red wine are a classic combination. Generally, leaner steaks go well with light or medium-bodied reds, such as pinot noir or merlot, while fattier steaks can handle a bold red, such as cabernet sauvingnon. The Goldschmidt Vineyard Alexander Valley Chelsea Merlot with a 4.8 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 20 dollars per bottle.
Goldschmidt Vineyard Alexander Valley Chelsea Merlot
Beautiful red raspberry, black cherry, and spice aromas. Full and round with plum, red currant, blackberry, and bay leaf flavors. The soft tannins give this wine a velvety smoothness and the chocolatey finish just goes on and on.
