Cooking Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and cut the red potatoes into quarters. Toss them in 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, and paprika. Spread them on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes until golden and tender.

  2. 2

    Caramelize the Onions

    Slice the red onions thinly. In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the onions and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 15-20 minutes until they are soft and caramelized. Add balsamic vinegar and stir to combine. Remove from heat and set aside.

  3. 3

    Cook the Steak

    Season the strip steak with salt and black pepper on both sides. In a grill pan or outdoor grill, heat the remaining olive oil over medium-high heat. Grill the steak for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness. Let the steak rest for a few minutes before slicing.

  4. 4

    Sauté the Spinach

    In a separate skillet, melt the remaining butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Add the fresh spinach and sauté until wilted, about 3-4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Dish

    On a plate, place a bed of sautéed spinach, top it with the sliced steak, and then add the caramelized onions. Serve with roasted red potatoes on the side.
