Jon made this for me for my birthday a couple of years ago - he found the recipe on the Food Network website. We have made this several times and our kids like it too!
2 (8 ounce) sirloin steaks
kosher salt
pepper
1 Tbsp. olive oil
4 Tbsp. butter
2 garlic cloves, crushed and left in skins
8 springs fresh thyme
2 medium shallots, very finely chopped
1 lb. spinach
Put a large skillet over high heat. While the pan is heating, season the steaks with salt and pepper. Add the oil to the pan, making sure the bottom of the pan is coated. Add the steaks and sear on 1 side for 2 minutes. Turn them over and sear the other side for 3 minutes (this will cook the steaks to medium-rare). Lower the heat and add 3 Tbsp. of butter, the garlic and thyme. Baste steaks with the melted butter on both sides for 1 more minute. Remove the steaks from the pan and let them rest for 2 minutes.
While the steaks are resting, remove the garlic and thyme from the pan and wipe out the excess butter. Add the remaining Tbsp. of butter and let it brown over high heat. Add the shallots and cook for a few seconds. Add the spinach and saute, stirring constantly, until it is wilted, about 1 minute.
Put a bed of spinach on each plate, place a steak on top and serve.
