Instructions

• STEP 1

  Wash and dry the fresh produce. (Skip the spinach if it came pre-washed.)

  • 2 medium yellow potatoes
  • ½ (5 oz) pkg baby spinach

• STEP 2

  Peel and quarter the potatoes lengthwise (into wedges); transfer to a small saucepan. Cover with hot water (from the tap) by about 1 inch and bring to a boil over high heat.

• STEP 3

  Preheat a skillet over medium-high heat.

• STEP 4

  While the skillet heats up, pat the steak dry with paper towels and place on a plate; season generously with salt and pepper on both sides.

  • ¾ lb striploin (New York strip) steak
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper

• STEP 5

  Once the skillet is hot, add coconut oil and swirl to coat the bottom.

  • ½ tbsp virgin coconut oil

• STEP 6

  Carefully place the steak in the skillet; flipping every 15 to 30 seconds, cook the steak until desired doneness (5 to 7 minutes for medium-rare). (Use a thermometer or cut into the steak to check the doneness.) Once done, transfer the steak to a plate, leaving any juices in the skillet, and let it rest for 5 to 10 minutes.

• STEP 7

  Once the water in the saucepan is boiling, reduce the heat to medium and cook until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a knife, 8 to 12 minutes. Once done, reserve about ½ cup of liquid and drain the rest. Cover the saucepan to keep warm.

• STEP 8

  Trim off and discard the root ends of the garlic; peel and mince or press the garlic.

  • 2 cloves garlic

• STEP 9

  Once the steak has been transferred, reduce the heat to medium and add the garlic and spinach to the skillet; season with salt and pepper. Stir until the spinach is just wilted, 1 to 2 minutes, then remove from the heat.

  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ⅛ tsp black pepper

• STEP 10

  Add ½ of the reserved liquid, butter, salt, and pepper to the potatoes; mash with a potato masher until smooth. Add more liquid to thin out the mash if needed.

  • 1 tbsp butter, unsalted
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ⅛ tsp black pepper

• STEP 11

  To serve, divide the mashed potatoes between plates and top with the spinach sauté, then add the steak on the side. Enjoy!
